Questions

How big is the M8 PCB?

It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the M8 use?

5 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 M8 KiCad files?

From the KenWillmott/M8 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is m8.kicad_pcb and its schematic bus_sch.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the M8 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).
