Questions
How big is the Board main PCB?
It measures 120.6 × 72.4 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Board main use?
53 parts, built around the MAX4619CPE+. 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 Board main KiCad files?
From the analogdevicesinc/education_tools repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is experiment-boards/m2k-colorimeter/board-main/board-main.kicad_pcb and its schematic experiment-boards/m2k-colorimeter/board-holder/board-holder.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Board main design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask analogdevicesinc before reusing the design.
