Questions

How big is the Brain PCB?

It measures 100 × 84 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.2 mm thick.

What parts does the Brain use?

131 parts, built around the THVD1450DRBR, AOZ1280CI, BS870 and EC2-3NU. 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 Brain KiCad files?

From the halfn0rmal/open-spa repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is HW/Brain/Brain.kicad_pcb and its schematic HW/Brain/Brain.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Brain design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
