Questions
How big is the Giger counter addon PCB?
It measures 73 × 31 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Giger counter addon use?
25 parts, built around the LM2596S-5.0 and LM1117-3.3. 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 Giger counter addon KiCad files?
From the Richard42Graham/Giger-counter-addon repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Giger-counter-addon.kicad_pcb and its schematic Giger-counter-addon.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Giger counter addon design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Richard42Graham before reusing the design.
