Overview
Pathfinder is an open-source printed circuit board by LizOnAir, from the LizOnAir/Pathfinder repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 61.9 × 44 mm with 8 parts on 15 nets, routed with 25 tracks and 0 vias.
Its parts include 3 diodes, 3 switches, 1 resistor and 1 IC. It belongs with the RP2040 boards of this library.

I want to learn more on programming instead of just doing PCB design and soldering, so is started with this project to explore what can I do with buttons and LEDs.
Feature
A neatly designed PCB, with 3 buttons and 3 LEDs.

Questions
How big is the Pathfinder PCB?
It measures 61.9 × 44 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pathfinder use?
8 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 Pathfinder KiCad files?
From the LizOnAir/Pathfinder repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Pathfinder.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Pathfinder.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pathfinder design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask LizOnAir before reusing the design.
