Questions

How big is the EEW5 PCB?

It measures 66.3 × 53.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the EEW5 use?

61 parts, built around the IX4428N, SI4554DY, CD74AC00E and KA7805ETU. 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 EEW5 KiCad files?

From the mribble/ElectricEelWheel5 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Pcb/Eew5/EEW5.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the EEW5 design in my own project?

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