Questions

How big is the Drake 10b PCB?

It measures 46.6 × 47.9 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.15 mm thick.

What parts does the Drake 10b use?

173 parts, built around the BDR6125, ITR8307/S18/TR8(B), TP4054 and XC6206P332MR-G. 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 Drake 10b KiCad files?

From the Reisi/Drake repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/drake_10b/drake_10b.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/drake_10b/drake_10b.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Drake 10b design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the BSD-2-Clause licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
