Questions
How big is the SilverZap PCB?
It measures 101.5 × 55.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the SilverZap use?
40 parts, built around the XL6009, EL817, MCP41010-E/P and 100UF/16V. 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 SilverZap KiCad files?
From the hanebuechenes/SilverZap repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/KiCad/SilverZap.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/KiCad/IO.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the SilverZap design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
