Questions

How big is the Mesabob PCB?

It measures 87.5 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Mesabob use?

46 parts, built around the RJ45. 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 Mesabob KiCad files?

From the rene-dev/stmbl repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw/kicad/mesabob/mesabob.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mesabob design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
