Questions
How big is the Cortex main PCB?
It measures 141 × 129.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Cortex main use?
53 parts, built around the IRF540N. 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 Cortex main KiCad files?
From the cogip/pcb-main repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is cortex_main.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Cortex main design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask cogip before reusing the design.
