Questions
How big is the Interconnect PCB?
It measures 40 × 355 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Interconnect use?
7 parts, built around the PM254-1-08-W-8.5 and PZ254-1-13-W-8.5. 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 Interconnect KiCad files?
From the urichess/chessboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/projects/chessboard_5cm/interconnect/interconnect.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/projects/chessboard_5cm/BRAIN/BRAIN.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Interconnect design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the Apache-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).
