Questions
How big is the Discharge PCB?
It measures 54.5 × 34.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Discharge use?
10 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 Discharge KiCad files?
From the sebgothard/FS_Electronics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Discharge/discharge.kicad_pcb and its schematic Discharge/discharge.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Discharge 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).
