Questions

How big is the Sentinel PCB?

It measures 49.3 × 22.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Sentinel use?

10 parts, built around the HLK-LD2410S and LDLN030G33R. 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 Sentinel KiCad files?

From the LocalizedTech/sentinel-electronics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is sentinel.kicad_pcb and its schematic sentinel.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Sentinel design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
