Questions
How big is the VacuumSensor PCB?
It measures 59.1 × 14 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the VacuumSensor use?
12 parts, built around the MCP6022-I/P and MPXA6115A6U. 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 VacuumSensor KiCad files?
From the JulienDevillers/vacuumSensorPCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/vacuumSensor.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the VacuumSensor design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
