Questions

How big is the Noah PCB?

It measures 301.5 × 98.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Noah use?

139 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4-AU and SRV05-4. 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 Noah KiCad files?

From the str-dst/noah_avr repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is noah.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Noah design in my own project?

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