Questions

How big is the Stemcell PCB?

It measures 17.8 × 31.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Stemcell use?

37 parts, built around the XC6220B331MR and B5819W. 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 Stemcell KiCad files?

From the megamind4089/STeMCell repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is stemcell.kicad_pcb and its schematic stemcell.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Stemcell design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask megamind4089 before reusing the design.
