Questions
How big is the Sailface mega shield PCB?
It measures 101.6 × 53.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Sailface mega shield use?
35 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 Sailface mega shield KiCad files?
From the rmcl/sailface repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is schematics/sailface-mega-shield-v0.3/sailface-mega-shield.kicad_pcb and its schematic schematics/sailboard-esp/Power.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Sailface mega shield design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask rmcl before reusing the design.
