Questions

How big is the Mkbd PCB?

It measures 91 × 55 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Mkbd use?

9 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 Mkbd KiCad files?

From the foostan/mkbd repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/mkbd/mkbd.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mkbd design in my own project?

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