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.
