Questions

How big is the Afm PCB?

It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Afm use?

179 parts, built around the STM32F407VGT6, OPA2227U, OPA4227P and L5973AD. 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 Afm KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Afm 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).
