Questions
What parts does the Seth'sEMG use?
31 parts, built around the ICL7660N, LM324 and SS14. 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 Seth'sEMG KiCad files?
From the Medical-Robotics-Limbo/Electrical repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Seth'sEMG/Seth'sEMG.kicad_pcb and its schematic Projects/Palm_Hub/palmhub_kicad_v1/palm hub v1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Seth'sEMG design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Medical-Robotics-Limbo before reusing the design.
