Questions
How big is the Tuxtag pcb PCB?
It measures 25.8 × 37.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Tuxtag pcb use?
13 parts, built around the OVLAW4CB7. 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 Tuxtag pcb KiCad files?
From the TuxElectronics/tuxtag-hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/tuxtag-pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic schematic/tuxtag-pcb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Tuxtag pcb design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
