Questions
How big is the Zerowriter breakout board PCB?
It measures 180 × 174 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Zerowriter breakout board use?
660 parts, built around the HYC77-TF09-200, HC-1.25-16PWT, LTST-S270EKT and LTST-S270TBKT. 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 Zerowriter breakout board KiCad files?
From the zerowriter/zerowriter_ink repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is design/src/Zerowriter breakout board/v1.2.0/CAD/PANEL/Zerowriter breakout board.kicad_pcb and its schematic design/src/Zerowriter Inkplate 5 Gen2/v1.2.0/CAD/Board Connectors.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Zerowriter breakout board design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
