Questions

How big is the Photon Power Zero PCB r1 01 PCB?

It measures 65.1 × 30.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Photon Power Zero PCB r1 01 use?

56 parts, built around the TPS613222ADBV. 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 Photon Power Zero PCB r1 01 KiCad files?

From the DavidMurrayP2P/PhotonPowerZero repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCBs/Photon_Power_Zero_PCB_r1_01.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCBs/PhotonPowerZeroSchematic_Informational_Only.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Photon Power Zero PCB r1 01 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
