Questions

How big is the Thunderstorm RevA PCB?

It measures 38.1 × 69.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Thunderstorm RevA use?

25 parts, built around the LM358, HIH-5030-001 and LPS331AP. 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 Thunderstorm RevA KiCad files?

From the M2I-HABET/Project-Thunderstorm repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 2-Hardware/Rev-A/Thunderstorm-RevA.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Thunderstorm RevA design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask M2I-HABET before reusing the design.
