Questions
How big is the Dogboard PCB?
It measures 50 × 36 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Dogboard use?
56 parts, built around the RP2040, BCR430U and PCA9685PW. 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 Dogboard KiCad files?
From the kccarbone/dogboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/dogboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/decor.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Dogboard design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the Unlicense licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
