Questions
How big is the E book PCB?
It measures 33.8 × 65.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the E book use?
97 parts, built around the ESP32-S3, W25Q128JVSIQ, AMS1117-3.3 and SS14. 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 E book KiCad files?
From the LizOnAir/E-book repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/hardware.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/hardware.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the E book design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask LizOnAir before reusing the design.
