Questions

How big is the While PCB?

It measures 34.3 × 77.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the While use?

27 parts, built around the ATMEGA328-AU. 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 While KiCad files?

From the mschuldt/control_bricks repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw/while/while.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the While design in my own project?

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