Questions

How big is the Thingy PCB?

It measures 226.7 × 54 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Thingy use?

51 parts, built around the IST8308, TPS565208DDC and WS2812B. 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 Thingy KiCad files?

From the compressedfish/SAFMC-2025-catE-dev repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/keyboard/thingy.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/cameraadapter/cameraadapt.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Thingy 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).
