Questions

What parts does the Smart nrp makerspace use?

58 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8, MAX485ED, AMS1117-3.3 and BC817. 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 Smart nrp makerspace KiCad files?

From the itsebuka/PCB-Design-Core repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Smart NRP Makerspace/smart_nrp_makerspace/smart_nrp_makerspace.kicad_pcb and its schematic LM555 TESTBOARD/LM555 Testboard/LM555 Testboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Smart nrp makerspace design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
