Questions
How big is the Hs2 PCB?
It measures 70 × 85 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Hs2 use?
90 parts, built around the 1N34A. 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 Hs2 KiCad files?
From the mgm8/hs2 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hs2.kicad_pcb and its schematic hs2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Hs2 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask mgm8 before reusing the design.
