Questions
How big is the Soil Sensor PCB?
It measures 36 × 61 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Soil Sensor use?
24 parts, built around the BC547. 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 Soil Sensor KiCad files?
From the ganesh-neuronwise/PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Soil_Sensor/Soil_Sensor/Soil_Sensor.kicad_pcb and its schematic Battery_AGA/Battery_AGA.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Soil Sensor design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ganesh-neuronwise before reusing the design.
