Questions

How big is the MAXCON zero PCB?

It measures 229.9 × 123.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MAXCON zero use?

35 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-E and RP2040-ZERO. 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 MAXCON zero KiCad files?

From the ThunderrGodd/DJMAXCON repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/v1/pcb/MAXCON-zero.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/v1/pcb/MAXCON-zero.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MAXCON zero design in my own project?

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