Questions
How big is the Cheddar PCB?
It measures 43 × 26 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Cheddar use?
30 parts, built around the ESP-12E, CH340G, HT7333 and MCP73831. 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 Cheddar KiCad files?
From the tperale/cheddar repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is schematics/cheddar.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Cheddar design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
