Questions

How big is the EMGAmplifier PCB?

It measures 71 × 21.6 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the EMGAmplifier use?

63 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-MINI-1-N8, TL072CDT, INA106U and TPS62152RGT. 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 EMGAmplifier KiCad files?

From the Arjun-Mahes/EMGAmplifier repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is EMGAmplifier.kicad_pcb and its schematic EMGAmplifier.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the EMGAmplifier design in my own project?

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