Questions

How big is the Capacity sensor PCB?

It measures 41.9 × 45.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Capacity sensor use?

46 parts, built around the 74HC74D, 74HCT14D, ICM7555N and TP1. 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 Capacity sensor KiCad files?

From the dzavalishin/hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is _Sensors/capacity_sensor_smd/capacity_sensor.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Capacity sensor design in my own project?

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