Questions

How big is the Proxima PCB?

It measures 40 × 60 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Proxima use?

74 parts, built around the AP63205WU, BMM350, BMP580 and TF-01A. 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 Proxima KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Proxima design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
