Questions

How big is the Kimstream PCB?

It measures 98.3 × 69.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Kimstream use?

16 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 Kimstream KiCad files?

From the LegendPlayz83/kimstream repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kimstream/kimstream.kicad_pcb and its schematic kimstream/kimstream.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Kimstream 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).
