Questions

How big is the Butterfly PCB?

It measures 79.3 × 57.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Butterfly use?

47 parts, built around the ATTINY85-20SU, 1N4148W and DMN3404L. 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 Butterfly KiCad files?

From the quetchen/butterfly repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/butterfly.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/butterfly.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Butterfly design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask quetchen before reusing the design.
