Questions

How big is the Kicad tutorial PCB?

It measures 49 × 35 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Kicad tutorial use?

4 parts, built around the M2011S3A1W03. 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 Kicad tutorial KiCad files?

From the pbrowne011/pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad-tutorial/kicad-tutorial.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad-tutorial/kicad-tutorial.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Kicad tutorial design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask pbrowne011 before reusing the design.
