Questions
How big is the RocketLink-1 PCB?
It measures 40 × 15 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.58 mm thick.
What parts does the RocketLink-1 use?
34 parts, built around the USBLC6-2P6. 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 RocketLink-1 KiCad files?
From the tomatencode/RocketLink-1 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is RocketLink-1.kicad_pcb and its schematic RocketLink-1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the RocketLink-1 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask tomatencode before reusing the design.
