Questions

How big is the Arduino Shield V1[1] PCB?

It measures 58.6 × 53.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Arduino Shield V1[1] use?

11 parts, built around the ARDUINO UNO R3. 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 Arduino Shield V1[1] KiCad files?

From the paradox3407/Keviathan-ROV-Custom-Arduino-Shield-PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Arduino_Shield_V1[1].kicad_pcb and its schematic Arduino_Shield_V1[1].kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Arduino Shield V1[1] design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask paradox3407 before reusing the design.
