Questions
How big is the Tiny PCB?
It measures 62 × 42 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Tiny use?
29 parts, built around the ATTINY84-20SSU and 74HC00D. 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 Tiny KiCad files?
From the hmatuschek/ardf-tx repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is TX/tiny.kicad_pcb and its schematic TX/tiny.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Tiny design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask hmatuschek before reusing the design.
