Hardware
The harware is based on an Arduino Nano, a SI5351 and a filter based on LC components. The Kicad project (schema and PCB) are available in the electronics folder. Fabrication files are available in the electronics/foxy/Gerber folder.
Software
Very simple software here which relying on the SI5351 library from https://github.com/etherkit/Si5351Arduino The code can be built and deployed with platform.io

Questions
How big is the Foxy PCB?
It measures 50 × 65 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Foxy use?
19 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 Foxy KiCad files?
From the f4iha/foxy repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is electronics/foxy/foxy.kicad_pcb and its schematic electronics/foxy/foxy.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Foxy design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
