Questions

How big is the Cheap deck PCB?

It measures 135.7 × 58.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Cheap deck use?

61 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 Cheap deck KiCad files?

From the loic-berland/CheapDeck repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is V1/pcb/cheap_deck.kicad_pcb and its schematic V2/pcb/cheap_deck.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Cheap deck design in my own project?

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