Questions
How big is the Chr-1 PCB?
It measures 84.5 × 28.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Chr-1 use?
8 parts. 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 Chr-1 KiCad files?
From the HisarCS/VariablePitchPropeller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Chr-1.kicad_pcb and its schematic Chr-1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Chr-1 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).
