Questions

How big is the Kaze PCB?

It measures 40 × 22.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Kaze use?

44 parts, built around the BME680, TSL25911FN, AP2112K-3.3 and ESP32-C6-MINI-1. 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 Kaze KiCad files?

From the Las-Vejas/Kaze repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/kaze.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/kaze.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Kaze 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).
