Questions
How big is the Interferometer PCB?
It measures 79.5 × 36.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Interferometer use?
48 parts, built around the LMD3526B261-OA5 and M2.5. 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 Interferometer KiCad files?
From the atx/phased repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/interferometer/interferometer.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/interferometer/interferometer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Interferometer design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
