Questions

How big is the Silli18 PCB?

It measures 95.3 × 104.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Silli18 use?

47 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 Silli18 KiCad files?

From the Squalius-cephalus/silli18 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Silli18_kicad/Silli18.kicad_pcb and its schematic Silli18_kicad/Silli18.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Silli18 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Squalius-cephalus before reusing the design.
