Questions

How big is the Flashlight PCB?

It measures 63.5 × 110 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Flashlight use?

76 parts, built around the LM60BIM3, AMS1117-5.0, CSD25402Q3A and SS-12D06L5. 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 Flashlight KiCad files?

From the Incomprehensible/Mad_Flashlight repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/Flashlight.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Flashlight design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Incomprehensible before reusing the design.
