Questions
How big is the Flake PCB?
It measures 139.3 × 94.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Flake use?
55 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 Flake KiCad files?
From the lever-tech/flake repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/M,S/Flake.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/L/Flake-L.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Flake design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
