Questions

How big is the IR sensor module PCB?

It measures 21 × 14.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the IR sensor module use?

9 parts, built around the LM358. 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 IR sensor module KiCad files?

From the arhamjaffer/IR-Sensor-Module-PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is iR_sensor_module.kicad_pcb and its schematic iR_sensor_module.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the IR sensor module design in my own project?

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