Overview
Geckonator is an open-source printed circuit board by flummer, from the flummer/geckonator-hw repository on GitHub, published under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 45 × 19 mm with 17 parts on 23 nets, routed with 179 tracks and 20 vias.
Its parts include 5 connectors, 4 resistors, 3 capacitors, 2 diodes and 1 IC. It belongs with the Silicon Labs (EFR32, EFM) boards of this library.
README
README.mdGeckonator development boards
The Geckonator development boards are a series of tools for working with the USB microgontrollers from Silabs in the Happy Gecko family.
These boards have a very low component count, in part due to the built in features of the controller, eg. built in voltage regulator.
These boards are in part inspired by Thumbinator and the Tomu and combines parts from both of these projects.
Hardware
The initial version of the hardware (found in this repository) is a small thumbdrive sized board with a male USB A connector directly on the board and only two LEDs.
The next version (Geckonator Dev Edition) is a larger board, with a few more components, higher pincount microcontroller and a larger prototyping area for adding other stuff.
Firmware
This board is designed for the development of the Geckoboot bootloader, and for developing applications for this, the Geckonator repository can be used as a base

Questions
How big is the Geckonator PCB?
It measures 45 × 19 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Geckonator use?
17 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 Geckonator KiCad files?
From the flummer/geckonator-hw repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Geckonator.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Geckonator design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
