Questions
How big is the CurrentDetector PCB?
It measures 45.5 × 13.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the CurrentDetector use?
7 parts, built around the NE555P. 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 CurrentDetector KiCad files?
From the Aswinlalks/PCBdesigning repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is CurrentDetector/CurrentDetector.kicad_pcb and its schematic CurrentDetector/CurrentDetector.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the CurrentDetector design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Aswinlalks before reusing the design.
