Questions

How big is the Arduino Shield Sensors Template PCB?

It measures 68.6 × 53.3 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.57 mm thick.

What parts does the Arduino Shield Sensors Template use?

47 parts, built around the MAX86150EFF+T, LP3985, LSM6DSL and TCA9617ADGK. 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 Arduino Shield Sensors Template KiCad files?

From the ane109/nrfDK_Sensor_Dev_Shield repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Project_Files/Arduino_Shield_Sensors_Template.kicad_pcb and its schematic Project_Files/Arduino_Shield_Sensors_Template.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Arduino Shield Sensors Template design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ane109 before reusing the design.
