Questions

How big is the Backontrack44 PCB?

It measures 151.1 × 95 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Backontrack44 use?

100 parts, built around the 1N4148W and SK6812MINI-E. 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 Backontrack44 KiCad files?

From the da-h/BackOnTrack-SplitKb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/backontrack44.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/backontrack44.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Backontrack44 design in my own project?

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