Questions

How big is the Bootarooni PCB?

It measures 85.2 × 71.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Bootarooni use?

34 parts, built around the 74AHCT1G125SE, 74LCX541WM, 74LS299DC and 74LS05P-E. 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 Bootarooni KiCad files?

From the phooky/bootarooni repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/bootarooni.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Bootarooni design in my own project?

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