Questions
How big is the Lightning PCB?
It measures 27.9 × 19.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Lightning use?
16 parts, built around the MA5532-AEB. 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 Lightning KiCad files?
From the tperale/lightning repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is breakout/lightning.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Lightning design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask tperale before reusing the design.
