Questions
How big is the INSIGHT PCB?
It measures 76.8 × 38.1 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the INSIGHT use?
76 parts, built around the RP2040, MPM3610GQV-Z, MPL3115A2R1 and W25Q128JVSIQ. 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 INSIGHT KiCad files?
From the K-Eckert15/ARES repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is DEIMOS/INSIGHT/INSIGHT.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 INSIGHT design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask K-Eckert15 before reusing the design.
