Questions

How big is the KeybJr PCB?

It measures 53.2 × 57.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the KeybJr use?

19 parts, built around the ATMEGA328P-PU and BC337. 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 KeybJr KiCad files?

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

Can I use the KeybJr design in my own project?

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