Questions

How big is the 2.0 hotswap flex PCB?

It measures 251.2 × 81.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 2.0 hotswap flex use?

138 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4 and PRTR5V0U2X. 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 2.0 hotswap flex KiCad files?

From the therick0996/lucy repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is old_versions/2.0 hotswap_flex/pcb.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 2.0 hotswap flex design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask therick0996 before reusing the design.
