Questions

How big is the Picoprobe PCB?

It measures 38.2 × 78.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Picoprobe use?

2 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 Picoprobe KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Picoprobe design in my own project?

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