Questions
How big is the Lightning detector PCB?
It measures 43.2 × 43.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Lightning detector use?
27 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 Lightning detector KiCad files?
From the hsgr/lightning-detector repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is lightning-detector.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Lightning detector design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask hsgr before reusing the design.
