Questions

How big is the MAX6951-breakout PCB?

It measures 18.9 × 18.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MAX6951-breakout use?

8 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 MAX6951-breakout KiCad files?

From the jedp/MAX6951-breakout repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is layout/MAX6951-breakout.kicad_pcb and its schematic layout/MAX6951-breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MAX6951-breakout design in my own project?

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