Questions
How big is the Shademaker PCB?
It measures 67.9 × 43.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Shademaker use?
15 parts, built around the IRLZ44N. 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 Shademaker KiCad files?
From the gilgen/shademaker repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is circuit/shademaker.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Shademaker design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask gilgen before reusing the design.
