Questions

How big is the Aya PCB?

It measures 424 × 126.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Aya use?

180 parts. 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 Aya KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Aya 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).
