Questions

How big is the Minim PCB?

It measures 276.2 × 79.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Minim use?

114 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4-AU and PRTR5V0U2X. 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 Minim KiCad files?

From the matthewdias/minim repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/minim.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Minim 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).
