Questions

How big is the ImtDeck Carrier PCB?

It measures 160 × 80 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.61 mm thick.

What parts does the ImtDeck Carrier use?

170 parts, built around the SY8253ADC, MAX98357AETE+T, ULC0524P and TPAZ1023-04F. 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 ImtDeck Carrier KiCad files?

From the imtua/ImtDeck repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/ImtDeck-Carrier/ImtDeck-Carrier.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/ImtDeck-Carrier/ImtDeck-Carrier.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ImtDeck Carrier 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).
