Questions
How big is the Breadbox PCB?
It measures 50 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Breadbox use?
51 parts, built around the LM358N. 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 Breadbox KiCad files?
From the cillian64/blueboxes repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is breadbox/breadbox.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Breadbox design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask cillian64 before reusing the design.
