Questions

How big is the Scout Board PCB?

It measures 104.1 × 61 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Scout Board use?

31 parts, built around the BSS138, IRFZ44NSTRLPBF, 100UF/16V and B2B-XH-A(LF)(SN). 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 Scout Board KiCad files?

From the vectech-dev/Scout_Board_pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Scout_Board.kicad_pcb and its schematic BBAI.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Scout Board design in my own project?

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