Questions

How big is the COMET PCB?

It measures 63.5 × 25.4 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.56 mm thick.

What parts does the COMET use?

73 parts, built around the RP2040, MPL3115A2R1, W25Q128JVSIQ and LSM6DS3. 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 COMET KiCad files?

From the K-Eckert15/ARES repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PHOBOS/COMET/COMET.kicad_pcb and its schematic DEIMOS/INSIGHT/INSIGHT (conflicted copy 2026-09-14 235045).kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the COMET design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask K-Eckert15 before reusing the design.
