Questions

How big is the Saturn60 PCB?

It measures 285 × 94.6 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Saturn60 use?

315 parts, built around the MT3608, AP2112K-3.3TRG1, SK6812MINI-E and 1N5819M. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Saturn60 KiCad files?

From the Charading/Saturn60 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Saturn60.kicad_pcb and its schematic NRF24L01.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Saturn60 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Charading before reusing the design.
