Questions
How big is the A8PicoCart PCB?
It measures 53.8 × 64.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the A8PicoCart use?
6 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 A8PicoCart KiCad files?
From the robinhedwards/A8PicoCart repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcbs/XE version (no case)/A8PicoCart.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcbs/Previous Versions/XL or XE version (fits case)/A8PicoCart.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the A8PicoCart design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask robinhedwards before reusing the design.
