Questions
How big is the Physalis PCB?
It measures 304.8 × 119.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Physalis use?
176 parts, built around the 1N4148W and RP2040-ZERO. 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 Physalis KiCad files?
From the peke767/physalis repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/v1.0/physalis.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/v1.0/physalis.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Physalis design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
