Questions

How big is the Two Load Cell Readout PCB?

It measures 101.6 × 66.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Two Load Cell Readout use?

9 parts. 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 Two Load Cell Readout KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Two Load Cell Readout design in my own project?

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