3D model¶
Drag to rotate, pinch or scroll to zoom, two fingers to pan. Built from the layout with the same 3D models as the renders.
Board in enclosure¶
The board model merged into the FreeCAD enclosure, shell shown semi-transparent so the board is visible inside.
Enclosure files: Cricket008_Enclosure_P11.FCStd
Renders¶
Assembly: both sides (26 parts on top, 1 on the bottom, counted from the layout; fiducials, mounting holes and parts excluded from the BOM are not counted).

The InteractiveHtmlBom — for the bench: click a BOM line and the part highlights on the board.
Manufacturing specs¶
| Requirement | Value |
|---|---|
| layers | 2 |
| thickness mm | 0.6 # the board file says 0.6 — confirm; fab.yml said 1.6 before 2026-09-16 |
| material | FR-4 TG150 |
| copper oz outer | 1 |
| copper oz inner | n/a |
| surface finish | ENIG (the USB-A plug fingers are the board edge; HASL is too uneven for a plug — confirm) |
| solder mask | black (the flash-drive disguise — confirm) |
| silkscreen | white |
| min track space mm | 0.127 / 0.127 |
| min via drill mm | 0.3 |
| via treatment | tented |
| impedance control | no |
| castellated holes | no |
| edge plating | no |
| panelisation | single piece, fab may panelise |
| rule file | none — checked with KiCad defaults |
| assembly sides | both |
| assembly type | SMT + THT (piezo and motor header are through-hole; cell and motor are hand-fitted) |
| dnp policy | parts marked DNP in the schematic are omitted from the BOM and CPL |
| notes | finish and mask colour are guesses from the design intent; confirm against the last order before quoting |
