Questions
How big is the Balance PCB?
It measures 67 × 55 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Balance use?
47 parts, built around the TM4C123GH6PMI, MMBT3904 and CMT-8530S-SMT-TR. 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 Balance KiCad files?
From the jspspike/balance repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/balance.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Balance design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the AGPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
