Questions
How big is the Microscope camera pcb PCB?
It measures 60 × 90 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Microscope camera pcb use?
44 parts, built around the 74AHCV17APWJ, AP22653W6 and RT9742SNGV. 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 Microscope camera pcb KiCad files?
From the Morphdust/microscope_camera_pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is microscope_camera_pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic RP-008099-DD-1-CM5 IO Board, revision 2, KiCAD files./CM5IO.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Microscope camera pcb design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Morphdust before reusing the design.
