Overview
Hacklife1.0 is an open-source printed circuit board by evathenarobotics-stack, from the evathenarobotics-stack/epot repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 114.3 × 114.3 mm with 7 parts on 25 nets, routed with 50 tracks and 0 vias.
It is built around the DHT11. Its parts include 2 ICs, 2 connectors, 2 switches and 1 resistor. It belongs with the ESP32 and RISC-V boards of this library.
Main components
1README
README.mdThis is a starbie project by hacklife. A starbie is meant to be similar to a tamogatchi. Using KiCad's Schematic editor, I created circuits on the XIAO ESP32C3 inwhich the starbie can move via buttons and detect the enviornment with an enviornment sensor. This was then connected to the PCB and I chose a rounded heart shape as my base. In Arduino, I replicated the code given using my own wire managment and my starbie can draw hearts as well as little sparkles.
I turned it in late and lwk missed the dead line as a result of a mixture of errors and a busy schedule, however the errors I ran into were quite troublesome to manage. The code I replicated had errors running despite the lack of change at that point in the process.
But, I completed it and this is how the PCB board looks:

Questions
How big is the Hacklife1.0 PCB?
It measures 114.3 × 114.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Hacklife1.0 use?
7 parts, built around the DHT11. 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 Hacklife1.0 KiCad files?
From the evathenarobotics-stack/epot repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is epot/hacklife1.0.kicad_pcb and its schematic epot/epot.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Hacklife1.0 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask evathenarobotics-stack before reusing the design.
