Questions
How big is the PoleOrb PCB?
It measures 25 × 135 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PoleOrb use?
26 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 PoleOrb KiCad files?
From the pukuhei/PoleOrb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is v2/poleorb/poleorb.kicad_pcb and its schematic v2/poleorb/poleorb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PoleOrb design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask pukuhei before reusing the design.
