HorrorScope PCB design

These are the kicad source files for our 'horrorscope' PCB. You can find gerbers in the 'horrorscope' directory.

(The 'breakout' directory contains gerbers for the breakout PCB we developed for debugging, which may be interesting too.)

Obviously .. we are not electrical engineers. Or good at PCB design. But it works! :)

Questions

How big is the Xmegatest PCB?

It measures 37.2 × 27.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Xmegatest use?

28 parts, built around the ATXMEGA128A4U-AU 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 Xmegatest KiCad files?

From the albert-spruyt/HorrorScope repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/xmegatest.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Xmegatest design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask albert-spruyt before reusing the design.
