Questions
How big is the Soilmoisture PCB?
It measures 27 × 94.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Soilmoisture use?
21 parts, built around the BT840, BAT-HLD-001-TR, RC0603FR-07100KL and RMCF0603ZT0R00. 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 Soilmoisture KiCad files?
From the fredriknk/SoilSense repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is CAD/soilmoisture.kicad_pcb and its schematic CAD/oscillator.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Soilmoisture design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
