Questions

How big is the GR Loop Switcher PCB?

It measures 99.9 × 99.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the GR Loop Switcher use?

84 parts, built around the MAX3485ED, WEMOS D1 MINI, ICL7660N and MT8816AP1. 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 GR Loop Switcher KiCad files?

From the GadgetReboot/Loop_Switcher repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/GR_Loop_Switcher.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the GR Loop Switcher design in my own project?

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