Questions

How big is the Load cell PCB?

It measures 52.8 × 29.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Load cell use?

2 parts, built around the HX711. 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 Load cell KiCad files?

From the integration-workshop-3/pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is load_cell/load_cell/load_cell.kicad_pcb and its schematic led/led/led.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Load cell design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask integration-workshop-3 before reusing the design.
