Questions
How big is the RP spectroscopy PCB?
It measures 90.5 × 104.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the RP spectroscopy use?
96 parts, built around the AD8397AR, AD8603AUJ, LT6231 and DG418DY-E3. 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 RP spectroscopy KiCad files?
From the SimoneDamian/RP_Spectroscopy_kicad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is RP_spectroscopy/RP_spectroscopy.kicad_pcb and its schematic RP_spectroscopy/Connections.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the RP spectroscopy design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask SimoneDamian before reusing the design.
