Questions

How big is the SmartPlant PCB?

It measures 48 × 75.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the SmartPlant use?

37 parts, built around the DS1307ZN+, L7805 and IRF540N. 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 SmartPlant KiCad files?

From the aleksul/SmartPlant repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/smart-plant.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the SmartPlant design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
