Questions
How big is the Flicker PCB?
It measures 20 × 74.3 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Flicker use?
499 parts, built around the 10CL010YE144C8G, EP53A7LQI, EP53F8QI and OKL2-T/12-W12P2-C. 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 Flicker KiCad files?
From the danfoisy/flicker repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is board/flicker/flicker.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Flicker design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
