Questions
How big is the NoahFC PCB?
It measures 32 × 42 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the NoahFC use?
52 parts, built around the ATMEGA328-PU, AT7456, LM317 and XC6206-2.8V. 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 NoahFC KiCad files?
From the zosko/NoahFC repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/NoahFC.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/NoahFC.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the NoahFC 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).
