Questions
How big is the Dummy PCB?
It measures 25.4 × 52 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Dummy use?
18 parts, built around the ESP32-C3-WROOM-02-N4 and AMS1117-3.3. 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 Dummy KiCad files?
From the wjjmjh/dummy repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is dummy.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Dummy design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
