Questions

How big is the STEP PCB?

It measures 15 × 35.1 mm and has 4 copper layers, 4.69 mm thick.

What parts does the STEP use?

59 parts, built around the MLPF-WB55-01E3, PKMCS0909E4000-R1, CL21A475KAQNNNE and DFE201612E-2R2M=P2. 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 STEP KiCad files?

From the OlinSTEP/2023-EE repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad_files/STEP.kicad_pcb and its schematic board_rev2/espboard/espboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the STEP design in my own project?

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