Questions

How big is the Ark PCB?

It measures 71.9 × 98.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Ark use?

112 parts, built around the MCP73871EV, FAN5333BSX, PAM2306AYPKE and AP7115-25SEG. 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 Ark KiCad files?

From the tmtrcreations/The_Ark repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Schematics/Ark.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Ark design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
