Questions
How big is the Proximity sensor PCB?
It measures 13.5 × 9.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Proximity sensor use?
7 parts, built around the VCNL3040. 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 Proximity sensor KiCad files?
From the ajwock/quadcopter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is cad/proximity_sensor/proximity_sensor.kicad_pcb and its schematic cad/home_copter/home_copter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Proximity sensor design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ajwock before reusing the design.
