Questions
How big is the Backplane PCB?
It measures 40.6 × 128.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Backplane use?
75 parts, built around the MC34063AD. 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 Backplane KiCad files?
From the Yatekii/hive repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is backplane/backplane.kicad_pcb and its schematic backplane/backplane.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Backplane design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Yatekii before reusing the design.
