Questions

How big is the PCBA INTERFACE PCB?

It measures 86 × 13 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1 mm thick.

What parts does the PCBA INTERFACE use?

50 parts, built around the LMV321, OH49E-S, BL1551B and IP4220CZ6-HXY. 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 PCBA INTERFACE KiCad files?

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

Can I use the PCBA INTERFACE 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).
