Questions
How big is the Steer32 PCB?
It measures 29 × 62.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Steer32 use?
58 parts, built around the CP2104EK, ESP32-S3-MINI-1-N8, AP2112K-3.3 and BQ24090DGQR. 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 Steer32 KiCad files?
From the jpt1729/Steer32 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is steer32.kicad_pcb and its schematic steer32.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Steer32 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jpt1729 before reusing the design.
