Questions
How big is the Particle PCB?
It measures 42.5 × 43.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Particle use?
32 parts, built around the ATTINY1634-SU and DMC2700UDM-7-VB. 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 Particle KiCad files?
From the ProgrammableMatter/particle-hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb-projects/particle-tiny1634/particle.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Particle design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ProgrammableMatter before reusing the design.
