Questions

How big is the Helix one PCB?

It measures 300 × 100.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Helix one use?

107 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 Helix one KiCad files?

From the yamad/helix-one repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is helix-one.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Helix one design in my own project?

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