Questions
How big is the 8PinLCDBackpack PCB?
It measures 47.6 × 23.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the 8PinLCDBackpack use?
4 parts. 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 8PinLCDBackpack KiCad files?
From the jonsag/miscPCBs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 8PinLCDBackpack/KiCad/8PinLCDBackpack/8PinLCDBackpack.kicad_pcb and its schematic 2PinLCDBackPack/KiCad/2PinLCDBackPack/2PinLCDBackPack.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the 8PinLCDBackpack design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jonsag before reusing the design.
