Questions

How big is the Protocol seven PCB?

It measures 717.7 × 1,373.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Protocol seven use?

267 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4 and SK6812MINI-E. 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 Protocol seven KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Protocol seven design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask dotleon before reusing the design.
