Questions

How big is the HexBlink PCB?

It measures 85.9 × 74.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the HexBlink use?

188 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 HexBlink KiCad files?

From the SarahAlroe/HexBlink repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is HexBlink.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the HexBlink design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask SarahAlroe before reusing the design.
