Questions
How big is the Qalble PCB?
It measures 224.8 × 89.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Qalble use?
81 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 Qalble KiCad files?
From the somepin/qalble repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/QALBLE.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/QALBLE.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Qalble 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).
