Questions

How big is the Carpo left PCB?

It measures 126.3 × 92.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Carpo left use?

68 parts, built around the MCP73831, 1N5819W, AO3401A and USBLC6-2P6. 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 Carpo left KiCad files?

From the heyitscassio/carpo repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/left/carpo_left.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/left/carpo_left.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Carpo left design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-S-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).
