Questions

How big is the Bat detector PCB?

It measures 51.6 × 32.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Bat detector use?

34 parts, built around the MCP6004-E/P and LM1117-3.3. 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 Bat detector KiCad files?

From the microresearch/notes repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is particles/heterodyne_kicad/Bat_detector.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Bat detector design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask microresearch before reusing the design.
