Questions

How big is the Hall PCB?

It measures 45.2 × 17.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hall use?

37 parts, built around the MCP2551-I/SN-HG, LM1117-3.3, USBLC6-2SC6 and DTA114Y. 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 Hall KiCad files?

From the eddyem/stm32samples repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is F1:F103/Hall_linear/kicad/Hall.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hall design in my own project?

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