Questions
How big is the Min evolver PCB?
It measures 109.2 × 64.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Min evolver use?
72 parts, built around the MCP6004-E/P, AP7361C-33E and L7805CDT. 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 Min evolver KiCad files?
From the FYNCH-BIO/hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is min-eVOLVER/min-eV-PCB/min-evolver.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Min evolver design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask FYNCH-BIO before reusing the design.
