Questions

How big is the Freshboard PCB?

It measures 141 × 22 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Freshboard use?

13 parts, built around the 1N4148W and RP2040-ZERO. 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 Freshboard KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Freshboard design in my own project?

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