Questions

How big is the Arch Bridge PCB?

It measures 88.8 × 76 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Arch Bridge use?

102 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8, AP63205WU, 74LVC1G04Z and TXS0102DCT. 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 Arch Bridge KiCad files?

From the SeraphimlabsLLC/Arch_Bridge repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/Arch_Bridge/Arch_Bridge.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/Arch_Bridge/Arch_Bridge.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Arch Bridge design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the AGPL-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).
