Questions

How big is the Thermal Camera PCB?

It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 8 copper layers, 1.62 mm thick.

What parts does the Thermal Camera use?

559 parts, built around the PIC32MZ2064DAR176-I/2J, MCP9804-E/MC, TPS62130ARGT and FT234XD-R. 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 Thermal Camera KiCad files?

From the drewsum/Thermal_Camera repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is rev_a/hdw/Thermal_Camera/Thermal_Camera.kicad_pcb and its schematic rev_a/hdw/CTP_interposer/CTP_interposer/CTP_interposer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Thermal Camera design in my own project?

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