Questions

How big is the Gridiron PCB?

It measures 226.5 × 75 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Gridiron use?

159 parts, built around the RP2040, SN74AHCT1G125DBV, W25Q128JVSIQ and PRTR5V0U2X. 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 Gridiron KiCad files?

From the dededecline/Gridiron repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/Gridiron.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/Gridiron.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Gridiron design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
