Questions

How big is the Mearchlar PCB?

It measures 133 × 112.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Mearchlar use?

80 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 Mearchlar KiCad files?

From the finn-e/mearchlar repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcbs/mearchlar.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mearchlar 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).
