Questions
How big is the Blacktip PCB?
It measures 137.1 × 108.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Blacktip use?
159 parts, built around the LMV321, USBLC6-2SC6, AP2112K-3.3 and 1N4148W. 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 Blacktip KiCad files?
From the iH0118/blacktip repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is blacktip.kicad_pcb and its schematic blacktip.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Blacktip design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask iH0118 before reusing the design.
