README.mdPCRD - Plocs Cosmic Ray Detector
The PCRD is a semiconductor detector for cosmic rays. Its main advantages include sensitivity to all charged particles, low energy consumption, and low weight. Additionally, if the interaction with radiation transfers all its energy to the silicon, it is possible to determine the energy spectrum of the mixed radiation field.

Questions
How big is the PCRD02 PCB?
It measures 50.3 × 30 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PCRD02 use?
40 parts, built around the AD8692ARZ and BF862. 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 PCRD02 KiCad files?
From the mlab-modules/PCRD02 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw/sch_pcb/PCRD02.kicad_pcb and its schematic hw/sch_pcb/PCRD02.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PCRD02 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).
