Questions

How big is the Unit PCB?

It measures 40 × 80 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Unit use?

15 parts, built around the ULN2003A. 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 Unit KiCad files?

From the hawkowl/split-flap repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Unit/unit.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Unit/unit.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Unit 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).
