Questions
How big is the Compass PCB?
It measures 42 × 34 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Compass use?
65 parts, built around the TLI493D-A2B6. 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 Compass KiCad files?
From the cyao1234/compass repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/compass.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/compass.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Compass design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask cyao1234 before reusing the design.
