Questions

How big is the Irrigation controller PCB?

It measures 56 × 65 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Irrigation controller use?

43 parts, built around the PMBT3904, SD103AW and SS8550-H. 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 Irrigation controller KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Irrigation controller 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).
