Questions

How big is the Salt booklamp PCB?

It measures 45.1 × 45.1 mm and has 4 copper layers, 0.8 mm thick.

What parts does the Salt booklamp use?

32 parts, built around the EMK105BJ105KV-F, RC0402JR-0710KL, SMS1105UWDW and CRCW04020000Z0ED. 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 Salt booklamp KiCad files?

From the tedfernau/SaltGlow repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/salt_booklamp.kicad_pcb and its schematic build/build7/Interposer/Interposer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Salt booklamp design in my own project?

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