Questions

How big is the Bdkb40 PCB?

It measures 229.6 × 77.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Bdkb40 use?

122 parts, built around the BQ24075RGT and 1N4148WS. 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 Bdkb40 KiCad files?

From the msorair/bdkb40 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/bdkb40.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/bdkb40.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Bdkb40 design in my own project?

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