Overview
Lab06 is an open-source printed circuit board by kshisc, from the kshisc/PCB_Design repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 50.8 × 50.8 mm with 6 parts on 37 nets, routed with 52 tracks and 0 vias.
It is built around the MCP3008-I/P. Its parts include 3 connectors, 1 resistor, 1 IC and 1 diode.
Main components
1README
README.mdRaspberry Pi Sensor ADC Interface PCB
This is a Raspberry Pi–compatible PCB shield designed in KiCad to enable analog sensor interfacing through an MCP3008 SPI-based ADC. The board integrates light and sound sensor input headers along with LED output circuitry. The design process included schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, and routing of SPI and GPIO connections to ensure reliable communication between the Raspberry Pi and external sensors. After fabrication, the board was assembled using through-hole soldering and validated with a Python test program that reads sensor data via the MCP3008, outputs real-time light and sound values, and drives LED feedback based on configurable thresholds.

Questions
How big is the Lab06 PCB?
It measures 50.8 × 50.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Lab06 use?
6 parts, built around the MCP3008-I/P. 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 Lab06 KiCad files?
From the kshisc/PCB_Design repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Lab06.kicad_pcb and its schematic Lab06.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Lab06 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask kshisc before reusing the design.
