Questions

How big is the Mastermind PCB?

It measures 86.3 × 86.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Mastermind use?

14 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 Mastermind KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Mastermind design in my own project?

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