About the SAO library PCB
SAO library is an open source PCB design by davedarko, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 500 × 15 mm, with 45 components from 7 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the AMS1117-3.3 and SAOV1.69BIS. By type, the board carries 20 capacitors, 18 ICs, 3 connectors, 2 diodes and 2 resistors.

SAO library: common questions
How big is the SAO library PCB?
The SAO library measures 500 × 15 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the SAO library?
45 components, from 7 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the SAO library design files?
From the davedarko/Simple-Add-ons-SAO repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the SAO library design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with davedarko. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
