Questions
How big is the KiBoard PCB?
It measures 521.5 × 206.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the KiBoard use?
319 parts, built around the PCF8574AP. 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 KiBoard KiCad files?
From the colorBanded/kiBoard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/kiBoard.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/kiBoard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the KiBoard design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
