Questions
How big is the Unit000 PCB?
It measures 285.7 × 119.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Unit000 use?
143 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4-MU and WS2812B. 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 Unit000 KiCad files?
From the DerekLamb/Unit000 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Unit000.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Unit000 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask DerekLamb before reusing the design.
