Questions

How big is the Batty PCB?

It measures 138.5 × 95 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Batty use?

102 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-E. 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 Batty KiCad files?

From the hirakiuc/batty repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is batty-classic/pcb/batty.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Batty 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).
