Questions

How big is the Press beta PCB?

It measures 81.3 × 129.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Press beta use?

31 parts, built around the AO3400. 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 Press beta KiCad files?

From the Hexadecimaaal/press-beta repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/press-beta.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/press-beta.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Press beta design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Hexadecimaaal before reusing the design.
