Questions
How big is the Duo board PCB?
It measures 167 × 122.8 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Duo board use?
71 parts, built around the AMS1117-3.3. 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 Duo board KiCad files?
From the Gex-devs/duo_board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is duo_board.kicad_pcb and its schematic duo_board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Duo board design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Gex-devs before reusing the design.
