Questions
How big is the Eclair PCB?
It measures 44.5 × 34.9 mm and has 4 copper layers, 0.81 mm thick.
What parts does the Eclair use?
56 parts, built around the ATSAMD21E18A-AF, AP2112K-3.3, MCP73831 and MBR130. 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 Eclair KiCad files?
From the upbeatcarri/eclair repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/board/main.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/board/main.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Eclair design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask upbeatcarri before reusing the design.
