Questions
How big is the Getting started PCB?
It measures 40 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Getting started use?
4 parts, built around the M2011S3A1W03. 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 Getting started KiCad files?
From the michael-christen/toolbox repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is tlbox/hw/ee/getting_started/getting_started.kicad_pcb and its schematic tlbox/apps/sbr/pcb_v1/battery.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Getting started design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
