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.
