Questions
How big is the CameraController PCB?
It measures 34.5 × 25 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the CameraController use?
25 parts, built around the MSP430G2231IN14 and P82B715D. 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 CameraController KiCad files?
From the UCLA-CUB/CameraControllerBoard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is CameraController.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the CameraController design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask UCLA-CUB before reusing the design.
