Questions

How big is the MFC PCB?

It measures 101.6 × 53.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MFC use?

40 parts, built around the MAX232N and DAC8554IPW. 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 MFC KiCad files?

From the NadjB/Hard_Instru_Mass_Flow_Controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MFC.kicad_pcb and its schematic DAC8554.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MFC design in my own project?

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