The stack: common questions
How big is the The stack PCB?
The The stack measures 100.3 × 100.3 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the The stack?
19 components, from 8 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the The stack design files?
From the akashihi/Project334 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the The stack design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with akashihi. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
