Questions

How big is the Chao Recruit PCB?

It measures 80 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Chao Recruit use?

137 parts, built around the STM32F072C8T6, TJA1042T/3/1J, AMS1117-3.3 and AMS1117-5.0. 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 Chao Recruit KiCad files?

From the scottcjx/Chao-Recruit repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is HDK/Chao Recruit.kicad_pcb and its schematic HDK/Chao Recruit.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Chao Recruit 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).
