Questions

How big is the Meson PCB?

It measures 134.6 × 78.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Meson use?

69 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 Meson KiCad files?

From the PyrooL/Meson repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/meson.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Meson 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).
