Questions
How big is the Microscope PCB?
It measures 133 × 64.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Microscope use?
55 parts, built around the L7805. 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 Microscope KiCad files?
From the KabitaShahu/Circuit repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is microscope/microscope.kicad_pcb and its schematic BLUEPILL/BLUEPILL.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Microscope design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask KabitaShahu before reusing the design.
