Questions

How big is the Panic board PCB?

It measures 98.6 × 23.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Panic board use?

5 parts, built around the PEC11R-4215F-S0024. 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 Panic board KiCad files?

From the jimmydin7/panic-board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/panic-board.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/panic-board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Panic board design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jimmydin7 before reusing the design.
