Questions

How big is the Kicanvas example PCB?

It measures 60 × 52 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Kicanvas example use?

54 parts, built around the R-78E5.0-1.0 and PCA9685PW. 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 Kicanvas example KiCad files?

From the Unimakers/wiki repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is _docs/tutorial/tutorial_01/kicanvas-example.kicad_pcb and its schematic _docs/tutorial/tutorial_01/kicanvas-example.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Kicanvas example design in my own project?

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