Questions
How big is the Levitator PCB?
It measures 58 × 46.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Levitator use?
10 parts, built around the LM358 and AOD4184A. 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 Levitator KiCad files?
From the neilpate/electronics_levitator repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/Levitator.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/Levitator.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Levitator design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
