Questions
How big is the PCBa KRAKE PCB?
It measures 137.2 × 83.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PCBa KRAKE use?
195 parts, built around the CH340T, ESP32-WROOM-32E-N4, MAX3232ID and AMS1117-3.3. 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 PCBa KRAKE KiCad files?
From the PubInv/krake repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCBa_KRAKE/PCBa_KRAKE.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCBa_KRAKE/AlarmAudio.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PCBa KRAKE design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the AGPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
