Questions

How big is the OrthoTest PCB?

It measures 233.7 × 127.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the OrthoTest use?

250 parts, built around the SN74LVC1T45DCK 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 OrthoTest KiCad files?

From the extinct00/OrthoTest repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/OrthoTest/OrthoTest.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/OrthoTest/OrthoTest.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the OrthoTest design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask extinct00 before reusing the design.
