Questions
How big is the Badfinger PCB?
It measures 141 × 118 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Badfinger use?
58 parts, built around the R-78S3.3-0.1. 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 Badfinger KiCad files?
From the Sandalmoth/keyboards repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is badfinger/pcb/badfinger/badfinger.kicad_pcb and its schematic badfinger/pcb/badfinger/badfinger.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Badfinger design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Sandalmoth before reusing the design.
