Questions

How big is the Usb instrument PCB?

It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Usb instrument use?

74 parts, built around the LM321, TLV172IDCK, ISO6742 and BS170. 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 Usb instrument KiCad files?

From the FynnK/Reflectometer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/usb-instrument/usb-instrument.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/usb-instrument/input_stage.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Usb instrument design in my own project?

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