KiCad Project: Custom IR Sensor Module

Excited to share a new milestone in my hardware journey! 🚀 I recently started diving into PCB design using KiCad, and for my very first board, I designed a basic IR Sensor Module.

It has been incredibly rewarding to take this from a theoretical schematic down to routing the physical traces and finally seeing the 3D render come to life.

A few key takeaways from my first build:

✅ Understanding the core working principles of IR sensors and how to integrate them into a circuit.

✅ Schematic capture and footprint assignment.

✅ Component placement and trace routing.

Questions

How big is the IR MODULE PCB?

It measures 23.5 × 17.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the IR MODULE use?

9 parts, built around the LM358. 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 IR MODULE KiCad files?

From the devanshudev7/IR-SENS0R-MODULE-PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is IR_MODULE.kicad_pcb and its schematic IR_MODULE.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the IR MODULE design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask devanshudev7 before reusing the design.
