Questions
How big is the QWIIC breakout PCB?
It measures 42.6 × 9.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the QWIIC breakout use?
8 parts. 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 QWIIC breakout KiCad files?
From the whizzy-tech/QWIIC-breakout repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is QWIIC-breakout.kicad_pcb and its schematic QWIIC-breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the QWIIC breakout design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask whizzy-tech before reusing the design.
