Questions
How big is the Frothfet PCB?
It measures 144 × 127 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.62 mm thick.
What parts does the Frothfet use?
394 parts, built around the 74LVC541AD, ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R8, SN74LV1T34DBV and LM75BD. 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 Frothfet KiCad files?
From the hoeken/frothfet repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is frothfet/frothfet.kicad_pcb and its schematic frothfet/esp32-s3.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Frothfet design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
