Questions

How big is the Left routed PCB?

It measures 130.6 × 90.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Left routed use?

59 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 Left routed KiCad files?

From the Liolaeus/lio46 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ergogen/output/pcbs/left_routed.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Left routed 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).
