Questions

How big is the ArduinoMegaShield PCB?

It measures 101.6 × 53.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the ArduinoMegaShield use?

43 parts, built around the IRLB8721PBF and L721RAHLP. 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 ArduinoMegaShield KiCad files?

From the ykbl27/ArduinoMegaShieldPCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ArduinoMegaShield.kicad_pcb and its schematic ArduinoMegaShield.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ArduinoMegaShield design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ykbl27 before reusing the design.
