Questions

How big is the Fanboy PCB?

It measures 50 × 50 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Fanboy use?

61 parts, built around the RP2040, SK6812, TLV1117LV33DCYR and GT-TC029B-H025-L1N. 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 Fanboy KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Fanboy design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
