Questions
How big is the Pocketscale PCB?
It measures 78.9 × 47 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pocketscale use?
27 parts, built around the HX711 and MMBT4403. 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 Pocketscale KiCad files?
From the DevFluent/pocketscale repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/pocketscale.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pocketscale design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask DevFluent before reusing the design.
