Questions
How big is the LevelHacker PCB?
It measures 55 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the LevelHacker use?
26 parts, built around the ATTINY1634-SU. 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 LevelHacker KiCad files?
From the HackRVA/LevelHacker repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is levelhacker.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the LevelHacker design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask HackRVA before reusing the design.
