Questions
How big is the Ayab silver reed shield PCB?
It measures 68.6 × 53.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Ayab silver reed shield use?
23 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 Ayab silver reed shield KiCad files?
From the MathKnitting/silverreed-firmware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ayab-silver-reed-shield/ayab-silver-reed-shield.kicad_pcb and its schematic ayab-silver-reed-shield/ayab-silver-reed-shield.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Ayab silver reed shield 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).
