Questions
How big is the LCD BackPack PCB?
It measures 45.1 × 22.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the LCD BackPack use?
5 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 LCD BackPack KiCad files?
From the jonsag/miscPCBs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is LCD BackPack/KiCad/LCDBackPack/LCD BackPack.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 LCD BackPack design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jonsag before reusing the design.
