Questions
How big is the ErgoSplit PCB?
It measures 207.5 × 100.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the ErgoSplit use?
100 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 ErgoSplit KiCad files?
From the sudo-apt-install-tap/ErgoSplit repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCAD/KiCAD.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCAD/KiCAD.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the ErgoSplit design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask sudo-apt-install-tap before reusing the design.
