Questions
How big is the Modelh PCB?
It measures 150 × 38 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Modelh use?
51 parts, built around the AMS1117-3.3. 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 Modelh KiCad files?
From the jhawthorn/modelh repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/modelh.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Modelh design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jhawthorn before reusing the design.
