Questions

How big is the Plutopad PCB?

It measures 100 × 83 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Plutopad use?

21 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 Plutopad KiCad files?

From the pluto-227/Plutopad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/PlutoPad/PlutoPad.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/PlutoPad/PlutoPad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Plutopad design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask pluto-227 before reusing the design.
