README.mdProtoCentral TMF8829 Breakout — Hardware
Open-source hardware design files for the ProtoCentral TMF8829 48×32 dToF Depth Imager Breakout — a multi-zone direct time-of-flight (dToF) board based on the ams OSRAM TMF8829.
The TMF8829 streams a full depth image — 1,536 zones (48 × 32) at up to 15 fps — over I²C, with two integrated Class-1 eye-safe VCSEL emitters, an 80° field of view and ranging out to 11 m, from a module smaller than a thumbnail. This board adds dual Qwiic connectors, an onboard 1.8 V regulator with selectable VIO, and both I²C and SPI break-out headers.

Questions
How big is the Brk tmf8829 PCB?
It measures 30 × 30 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Brk tmf8829 use?
24 parts, built around the AP2112K-1.8 and TMF8829-1A. 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 Brk tmf8829 KiCad files?
From the Protocentral/protocentral_tmf8829_hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/brk_tmf8829.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/brk_tmf8829.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Brk tmf8829 design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
