Kicad board template, footprints and symbols for the Microsoft Jacdac project.

20x20mm board outline template with two Jacdac connectors.

This project was originally created with the Kicad nightly development build version of KiCad v6.99 for good reasons that I won't bore you with. However, even KiCad state not to use the nightly-build for production work.

I backported the footprints and board to Kicad stable v6.07. Future development will only be with the stable version of KiCad. Once I get rid of all the spurious error messages on the PCB design rule check for the stable build, I'll remove the nightly build folder. Nightly build can open a stable build but not the other way around.

The board design conforms with drawing 'JacdacEc30Template20x20 80-1.0 drawing.PDF'.

The Jacdac edge connector conforms with drawing 'JacdacEdgeConnectorRef 101-1.1 drawing.PDF'.

The Jacdac edge connectors have successfully been manufactured by JLCPCB.

Questions

How big is the Jacdac EC30 20x20 template PCB?

It measures 28 × 25 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Jacdac EC30 20x20 template use?

6 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 Jacdac EC30 20x20 template KiCad files?

From the mattoppenheim/jacdac repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad_nightly/jacdac_EC30_20x20_template.kicad_pcb and its schematic jacdac_EC30_20x20_template.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Jacdac EC30 20x20 template design in my own project?

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