Project: Proximity Sensor Design

--Description: This is a plug-and-play printed circuit board (PCB) proximity sensor design. It detects metal targets approaching perpendicularly as well as their moving direction. It uses an inductance to digital converter circuit. Machine learning models are used to differentiate between different types of metals (in V2 only). All HW and SW source files are included. HW includes PCB layout files in KiCad and SW includes firmware for the microcontroller (Atmega328p).

Questions

What parts does the Temp1 use?

7 parts. 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 Temp1 KiCad files?

From the eigenpi/Proximity-Sensor repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/ProximityTankTwo_V1/temp1.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Temp1 design in my own project?

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