Questions

How big is the NeuroBytes Photoreceptor PCB?

It measures 46.8 × 19.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the NeuroBytes Photoreceptor use?

25 parts, built around the APDS-9007-020 and RCLAMP0503F.TCT. 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 NeuroBytes Photoreceptor KiCad files?

From the NeuroTinker/NeuroBytes_Photoreceptor repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is HARDWARE/NeuroBytes_Photoreceptor.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the NeuroBytes Photoreceptor design in my own project?

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