Questions
How big is the Hexboard PCB?
It measures 91.3 × 105.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Hexboard use?
36 parts, built around the RP2040 and W25Q16JVSSIQ. 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 Hexboard KiCad files?
From the Xtimate/hexboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is _restore_backup_2026-05-13T09-51-41-049/hexboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic _restore_backup_2026-05-13T08-43-48-773/hexboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Hexboard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Xtimate before reusing the design.
