Questions

What parts does the Sense amp use?

1,978 parts, built around the BAT54W. 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 Sense amp KiCad files?

From the andrastantos/the_d_machine repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is modules/sense_amp/sense_amp/sense_amp.kicad_pcb and its schematic circuit_sims/and_or_not/and_or_not.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Sense amp design in my own project?

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