Questions

How big is the Stepperstick4pizero PCB?

It measures 85 × 30 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Stepperstick4pizero use?

11 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 Stepperstick4pizero KiCad files?

From the lightside-instruments/stepperstick4pizero repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is stepperstick4pizero.kicad_pcb and its schematic stepperstick4pizero.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Stepperstick4pizero design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask lightside-instruments before reusing the design.
