Questions
How big is the PicoOBI PCB?
It measures 50 × 60 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PicoOBI use?
13 parts. 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 PicoOBI KiCad files?
From the embediver/PicoOBI repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/PicoOBI.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/PicoOBI.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PicoOBI design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask embediver before reusing the design.
