Questions

How big is the Aquarium control PCB?

It measures 16 × 57 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Aquarium control use?

9 parts. 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 Aquarium control KiCad files?

From the nebrius/aquarium-control repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is board/Aquarium Control.kicad_pcb and its schematic board/Aquarium Control.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Aquarium control 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).
