Questions

How big is the PinPoint PCB?

It measures 29.9 × 39.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.2 mm thick.

What parts does the PinPoint use?

10 parts. 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 PinPoint KiCad files?

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

Can I use the PinPoint design in my own project?

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