Questions
What parts does the CareLoop PCB use?
67 parts, built around the MAX30102, MPU-6050, PCA9306D and TP4056-42-ESOP8. 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 CareLoop PCB KiCad files?
From the danieltaucher/CareLoop_PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is CareLoop/CareLoop_PCB.kicad_pcb and its schematic CareLoop/CareLoop_PCB.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the CareLoop PCB design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask danieltaucher before reusing the design.
