Questions

How big is the Polythene sensor PCB?

It measures 91.4 × 78.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Polythene sensor use?

7 parts, built around the CD74HC4067M. 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 Polythene sensor KiCad files?

From the byteofsoren/polyethylene_sensor repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is electronics/polythene_sensor/polythene_sensor.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Polythene sensor design in my own project?

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