Questions

What parts does the Hexahub use?

327 parts, built around the ATTINY3227-MF, GD25D10CTIG, TPD4E02B04DQAR and HD3SS3212IRKSR. 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 Hexahub KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Hexahub design in my own project?

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