Questions
How big is the Flex PCB?
It measures 48.8 × 41.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Flex use?
20 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-E. 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 Flex KiCad files?
From the yangxing844/keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is charybdis/Bastardkb Charybdis-PCB-thumbs main flex/flex.kicad_pcb and its schematic charybdis/Bastardkb Charybdis-PCB-thumbs main flex/flex.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Flex design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask yangxing844 before reusing the design.
