I recomend use the second version (improve precise, security, 3D model, interface and schematic): https://github.com/Lorxi3D/PhotogateV2
Objetivo
- Programar o Esp32 com interface para cada experimento, assim facilitando o aluno realizar os experimentos;
- Criar um diagrama e um modelo 3D do Circuito;
- Modelar 3D todo o projeto, para uma impressão 3D;
- Publica trabalho (doi.org/10.1088/1361-6552/ad6d23).

Questions
How big is the Photogate PCB?
It measures 77 × 65.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Photogate use?
23 parts, built around the 3362P-1-103, DC-005 and SJ1-3515N. 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 Photogate KiCad files?
From the MarcioBulla/Cronometro-Optico repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is photogate_encomendada/photogate.kicad_pcb and its schematic photogate_encomendada/photogate.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Photogate design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
