Questions

How big is the Milliohm meter PCB?

It measures 59.7 × 54.6 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Milliohm meter use?

41 parts, built around the OPA388ID, CJ431, AO3400A and BH123A. 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 Milliohm meter KiCad files?

From the gabeak2/milliohm_meter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is milliohm_meter.kicad_pcb and its schematic milliohm_meter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Milliohm meter 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).
