Questions

How big is the Koe pro v2 PCB?

It measures 45 × 30 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Koe pro v2 use?

47 parts, built around the NRF5340-QKAA-R, AK5720VT, PCM5102APW and WS2812B. 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 Koe pro v2 KiCad files?

From the yukihamada/koe-device repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/kicad-pro-v2/koe-pro-v2.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/kicad-pro-v2/koe-pro-v2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Koe pro v2 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
