Questions

How big is the Simple65 PCB?

It measures 314.9 × 100.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Simple65 use?

144 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 Simple65 KiCad files?

From the FoxTimo/pure65 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/simple65.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/simple65.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Simple65 design in my own project?

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