Questions

What parts does the DemoBoardPIC32 use?

141 parts, built around the PIC12F1822-E/P, DP83848CVV, 24LC16B/P and LM340. 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 DemoBoardPIC32 KiCad files?

From the ffich/Athena_HW repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/DemoBoardPIC32.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the DemoBoardPIC32 design in my own project?

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