Questions

How big is the Dot Matrix Terminal PCB?

It measures 50 × 105 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Dot Matrix Terminal use?

64 parts, built around the ESP32-WROOM-32, CH340G, IRLML0030 and BAT54C. 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 Dot Matrix Terminal KiCad files?

From the f-zhuk/Dot-Matrix-Terminal repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware_BRD/Dot-Matrix-Terminal/Dot-Matrix-Terminal.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware_BRD/Dot-Matrix-Terminal/Dot-Matrix-Terminal.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Dot Matrix Terminal design in my own project?

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