Questions

How big is the Phmeter PCB?

It measures 100 × 87 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Phmeter use?

151 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4-AU, HX711, LM2660M and D16. 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 Phmeter KiCad files?

From the Hackuarium/phmeter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/main/pHMeter.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/main/24bits ADC.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Phmeter design in my own project?

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