Questions

How big is the HolidayExpress PCB?

It measures 50 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the HolidayExpress use?

21 parts, built around the MPM3610GQV-P, DRV8833PW and SML-D12M1WT86. 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 HolidayExpress KiCad files?

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

Can I use the HolidayExpress design in my own project?

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