Questions
How big is the Ads1220 PCB?
It measures 10 × 10 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1 mm thick.
What parts does the Ads1220 use?
18 parts, built around the ADS1220IRVAR. 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 Ads1220 KiCad files?
From the badjeff/ads1220-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ads1220.kicad_pcb and its schematic ads1220.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Ads1220 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask badjeff before reusing the design.
