Questions

How big is the Simple36 PCB?

It measures 229.5 × 76.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Simple36 use?

74 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 Simple36 KiCad files?

From the tangzero/simple36 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/simple36.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/simple36.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Simple36 design in my own project?

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