Questions
How big is the Bus PCB?
It measures 30 × 13 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Bus use?
10 parts, built around the 24FC01-I/P. 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 Bus KiCad files?
From the melair/ktane repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Edgework/Bus/Bus.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Bus design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask melair before reusing the design.
