Questions
How big is the First project PCB?
It measures 68.6 × 38.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the First project use?
3 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 First project KiCad files?
From the soonick/ncona-code-samples repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is introduction-to-kicad-for-circuit-design/first-project/first-project.kicad_pcb and its schematic introduction-to-kicad-for-circuit-design/first-project/first-project.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the First project design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask soonick before reusing the design.
