Questions
How big is the PowerButtonPi PCB?
It measures 75.5 × 72.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PowerButtonPi use?
19 parts, built around the G3VM-61AY1. 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 PowerButtonPi KiCad files?
From the Jallerton00/PowerButtonPi repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/PowerButtonPi.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/KiCad-RP-Pico/Test/Test.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PowerButtonPi design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Jallerton00 before reusing the design.
