Questions

How big is the Microcontroller PCB?

It measures 70 × 39 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Microcontroller use?

42 parts, built around the AMS1117-3.3 and DS3231MZ/V+. 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 Microcontroller KiCad files?

From the Hardware7253/OperationUrd repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is cad/PCBs/microcontroller/microcontroller.kicad_pcb and its schematic cad/PCBs/mechanical_switch_breakout/mechanical_switch_breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Microcontroller 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).
