Questions

How big is the TinyBlue42 PCB?

It measures 225 × 74.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the TinyBlue42 use?

107 parts, built around the E73-2G4M08S1C, TP4054, XC6220B331MR-G and CD4148WP. 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 TinyBlue42 KiCad files?

From the FrancisUsher/TinyBlue42 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is tinyblue42.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the TinyBlue42 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).
