Questions
How big is the HydroBall PCB?
It measures 75.9 × 105.9 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the HydroBall use?
65 parts, built around the HIH8130-021-001, INA238AIDGSR, DS3231MZ/V+ and B550C. 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 HydroBall KiCad files?
From the CIDCO-dev/Poseidon repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is docs/PCB Design/HB-HAT/HydroBall.kicad_pcb and its schematic docs/PCB Design/HB-BP/PwrBypass.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the HydroBall design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
