Questions
How big is the Flow rate PCB?
It measures 120.6 × 115.3 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Flow rate use?
87 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 Flow rate KiCad files?
From the FYNCH-BIO/hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Accessories/flow-rate-aux-board/flow_rate/flow_rate.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Flow rate design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask FYNCH-BIO before reusing the design.
