Questions
How big is the Telsys PCB?
It measures 66.5 × 18.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Telsys use?
65 parts, built around the LM324AD. 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 Telsys KiCad files?
From the IMbackK/TelsysHW repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is telsys.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Telsys design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask IMbackK before reusing the design.
