Questions
What parts does the Hot finger use?
34 parts, built around the RP2040. 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 Hot finger KiCad files?
From the dBarmpxkos/hot-dot repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/hot_finger/hot_finger.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/hot_finger/hot_finger.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Hot finger design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask dBarmpxkos before reusing the design.
