Assoc board: common questions
How big is the Assoc board?
The Assoc board measures 72 × 46.5 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Assoc board?
44 components, from 24 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Assoc board design files?
From the leoheck/assoc-board repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Assoc board design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with leoheck. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
