Questions

How big is the Populus panel PCB?

It measures 141.9 × 128.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Populus panel use?

98 parts. 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 Populus panel KiCad files?

From the microresearch/allcolours repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is populus/POPULUS_kicad_old-panelnew/populus_panel/populus_panel.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Populus panel design in my own project?

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