Questions
How big is the View base PCB?
It measures 81.2 × 81.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.2 mm thick.
What parts does the View base use?
107 parts, built around the CH340C, SN74LV1T34DBV, HX711 and MT6701CT-STD. 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 View base KiCad files?
From the PROJECT-BIRO/Biro-1 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is firmware/biro-project-1/electronics/view_base/view_base.kicad_pcb and its schematic board/biro-battery-schematic/biro-0.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the View base design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
