Questions

How big is the Qt45 PCB?

It measures 266.7 × 81 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Qt45 use?

106 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4-AU. 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 Qt45 KiCad files?

From the qtkb/qt45-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is qt45.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Qt45 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).
