Questions

How big is the OpAmpStimulator PCB?

It measures 63.5 × 81.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the OpAmpStimulator use?

31 parts, built around the LT1617ES5. 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 OpAmpStimulator KiCad files?

From the kemerelab/ConstantCurrent repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is OpAmpStimulator/OpAmpStimulator.kicad_pcb and its schematic LaserDriverTest/LaserDriverTest.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the OpAmpStimulator design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
