Questions

How big is the U2f zero PCB?

It measures 41.4 × 14.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 2 mm thick.

What parts does the U2f zero use?

16 parts, built around the DF5A5.6JE,LM. 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 U2f zero KiCad files?

From the conorpp/u2f-zero repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/u2f-zero.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the U2f zero design in my own project?

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