Questions

How big is the Measurestick PCB?

It measures 57.2 × 119.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Measurestick use?

32 parts, built around the LM393. 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 Measurestick KiCad files?

From the mirkoruether/lathecontrol repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is v1_arduino_mega/board/measurestick.kicad_pcb and its schematic v2_stm32/board/currentloop_output.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Measurestick 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).
