Questions

How big is the Fluepdot PCB?

It measures 70 × 65 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Fluepdot use?

116 parts, built around the CP2102N-A01-GQFN28R, ESP32-WROOM-32, TPS54331DR-JSM and 74HCT595D. 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 Fluepdot KiCad files?

From the Fluepke/Fluepdot repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/fluepboard/fluepdot.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Fluepdot design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the AGPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
