Questions
How big is the Power expander PCB?
It measures 50.5 × 55.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Power expander use?
13 parts. 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 Power expander KiCad files?
From the gridbugs/modular2 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is power-expander/power-expander.kicad_pcb and its schematic arduino-delay/arduino-delay.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Power expander 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).
