Questions

How big is the MAS3k PCB?

It measures 276 × 133 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MAS3k use?

99 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 MAS3k KiCad files?

From the Irmin/AS3K repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MAS3k/MAS3k.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MAS3k design in my own project?

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