Questions

How big is the Split PCB?

It measures 334.7 × 118.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Split use?

102 parts, built around the PCM12SMTR. 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 Split KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Split design in my own project?

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