Questions

How big is the Engineering plane PCB?

It measures 100 × 70 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Engineering plane use?

100 parts, built around the BMP581, MMC5983MA, BMI270 and LP5907MFX-3.3/NOPB(MS). 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 Engineering plane KiCad files?

From the maxksiazka/engineering_plane_pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is engineering_plane.kicad_pcb and its schematic bmi270.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Engineering plane design in my own project?

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