Questions
How big is the TeperatureSensorsInterface PCB?
It measures 152.2 × 66.8 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the TeperatureSensorsInterface use?
107 parts, built around the MAX31856. 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 TeperatureSensorsInterface KiCad files?
From the MrWobot/TemperatureSensorsInterface repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Kicad/TeperatureSensorsInterface/TeperatureSensorsInterface.kicad_pcb and its schematic Kicad/TeperatureSensorsInterface/TeperatureSensorsInterface.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the TeperatureSensorsInterface design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask MrWobot before reusing the design.
