Questions
What parts does the Sensor2 use?
5 parts. 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 Sensor2 KiCad files?
From the daveatpanic/PlaydateCabinet repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is crank/sensor2/sensor2.kicad_pcb and its schematic crank/sensor1/sensor.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Sensor2 design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
