Questions
How big is the TinyShield PCB?
It measures 68.6 × 53.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the TinyShield use?
18 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 TinyShield KiCad files?
From the KDDaniels/PCB_Designs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is tinyShield/tinyShield/tinyShield.kicad_pcb and its schematic tinyShield/tinyShield/tinyShield.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the TinyShield design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
