Questions

How big is the Picowater PCB?

It measures 98 × 56 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Picowater use?

56 parts, built around the PCF8563T/5, SN74HC74N, RJ45 and BC817. 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 Picowater KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Picowater design in my own project?

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