Overview
SpaceManicPCB is an open-source printed circuit board by UChicago-Space-Program, from the UChicago-Space-Program/pulse-hardware repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 90.2 × 96.1 mm with 28 parts on 181 nets, routed with 279 tracks and 75 vias.
It is built around the EPC2014C. Its parts include 3 capacitors, 3 resistors, 2 diodes and 1 transistor.
Main components
1README
logos-templates-tools/PC104Layout/README.mdTemplate for PC104 to use for the boards. Keep in mind that the four holes on the board are througholes and it is important that all of the boards have the same distance for their throughole parts.
We should also adhere to having 2.54mm headers that are spaced at a certain (non-disclosed) distance from any holes

Questions
How big is the SpaceManicPCB PCB?
It measures 90.2 × 96.1 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.36 mm thick.
What parts does the SpaceManicPCB use?
28 parts, built around the EPC2014C. 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 SpaceManicPCB KiCad files?
From the UChicago-Space-Program/pulse-hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is flight-subsystem-designs/gnc/SpaceManicPCB/SpaceManicPCB.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the SpaceManicPCB design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask UChicago-Space-Program before reusing the design.
