Questions
How big is the PIcroscope PCB?
It measures 38 × 63.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.15 mm thick.
What parts does the PIcroscope use?
77 parts, built around the W25Q32JVSSIQ, AMS1117-3.3, ABM8-272-T3 and WS2812B-2020. 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 PIcroscope KiCad files?
From the n1-c00/PIcroscope repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/Picroscope.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/Picroscope.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PIcroscope design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask n1-c00 before reusing the design.
