Questions

How big is the GEMS Ruby PCB?

It measures 90 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the GEMS Ruby use?

70 parts, built around the ESP32-C3, MAX4468EKA, USBLC6-2SC6 and CMA-4544PF-W. 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 GEMS Ruby KiCad files?

From the GemsErasmusPlus/GEMS_Electronics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is GEMS_Ruby/GEMS_Ruby.kicad_pcb and its schematic GEMS_Amethyst/GEMS_Amethyst.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the GEMS Ruby 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).
