Questions

How big is the Shutter PCB?

It measures 61 × 42.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Shutter use?

49 parts, built around the LM1117-3.3, USBLC6-2SC6, SS14 and CESD3V3D5. 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 Shutter KiCad files?

From the eddyem/stm32samples repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is F1:F103/shutter/UNISTABLE/kicad/shutter.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Shutter design in my own project?

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