Questions

How big is the Supercap simple PCB?

It measures 80 × 156 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.61 mm thick.

What parts does the Supercap simple use?

56 parts, built around the XT30PW-F20.G.Y and XT30PW-M. 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 Supercap simple KiCad files?

From the Twisted-Fields/acorn-robot-electronics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is supercap/supercap_simple/supercap_simple.kicad_pcb and its schematic cm4_robot_board/cm4-robot.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Supercap simple design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Twisted-Fields before reusing the design.
