Questions
How big is the Single photon PCB?
It measures 41 × 58 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Single photon use?
17 parts, built around the LM393. 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 Single photon KiCad files?
From the Spooky-Manufacturing/UniversalGateSet repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is UniversalGateSet/single_photon.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Single photon design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
