Questions

How big is the UClock ESP32C3 PCB?

It measures 36 × 34 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1 mm thick.

What parts does the UClock ESP32C3 use?

68 parts, built around the ESP32-C3-MINI-1, TPS628438DRL, BQ24074RGTR and RV-3028-C7. 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 UClock ESP32C3 KiCad files?

From the SirioGuy/uClock repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/uClock/uClock ESP32C3.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/uClock/uClock ESP32C3.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the UClock ESP32C3 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
