Questions
How big is the Microcyte PCB?
It measures 47.2 × 22 mm and has 6 copper layers, 0.87 mm thick.
What parts does the Microcyte use?
40 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 Microcyte KiCad files?
From the hughmor/hughmor.github.io repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is assets/kicad/microcyte/microcyte.kicad_pcb and its schematic assets/kicad/microcyte/microcyte.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Microcyte design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask hughmor before reusing the design.
