Questions
How big is the UFO PCB?
It measures 388.1 × 114.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the UFO use?
349 parts. 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 UFO KiCad files?
From the turnipjs/UFO repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is UFO/UFO.kicad_pcb and its schematic UFO/UFO.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the UFO design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask turnipjs before reusing the design.
