Questions
How big is the Asylum PCB?
It measures 37 × 41 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Asylum use?
11 parts, built around the WEMOS D1 MINI. 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 Asylum KiCad files?
From the hackclub/asylum repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is designs/weather_stations/cool-cloud/pcb/asylum.kicad_pcb and its schematic designs/gameboy/gameboy.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Asylum 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).
