Questions

How big is the Mlx90640-breakout PCB?

It measures 12.7 × 25.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.1 mm thick.

What parts does the Mlx90640-breakout use?

12 parts. 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 Mlx90640-breakout KiCad files?

From the melexis/i2c-stick repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is mlx90640-breakout/mlx90640-breakout.kicad_pcb and its schematic mlx90614-breakout/mlx90614-breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mlx90640-breakout design in my own project?

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