Questions

How big is the FFC PCB?

It measures 10 × 15 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.1 mm thick.

What parts does the FFC use?

2 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 FFC KiCad files?

From the intechstudio/grid-hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Electrical/Experiments/# Legacy/FFC/FFC/FFC.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the FFC 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).
