Questions

How big is the Bd tester PCB?

It measures 139.7 × 88.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Bd tester use?

51 parts, built around the ATTINY85-20SU, DRV8231ADSG, AP7381-50Y and FSM4JSMATR. 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 Bd tester KiCad files?

From the IowaScaledEngineering/ckt-bd1 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/bd-tester/bd-tester.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/bd-tester/bd-tester.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Bd tester design in my own project?

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