Questions
How big is the Picolab PCB?
It measures 73.7 × 76.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Picolab use?
17 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 Picolab KiCad files?
From the emil-varga/picolab repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is HW/picolab/picolab/picolab.kicad_pcb and its schematic HW/picolab/picolab/picolab.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Picolab design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask emil-varga before reusing the design.
