Overview

Hall sensor pcb is an open-source printed circuit board by nekrutnikolai, from the nekrutnikolai/depth_sensor repository on GitHub, published under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 38 × 10 mm with 7 parts on 5 nets, routed with 29 tracks and 0 vias.

Its parts include 3 capacitors and 1 IC. It belongs with the sensors and measurement boards of this library.

Hall effect sensor breakout PCB

Breakout board carrying the three DRV5055A3 Hall effect sensors, described in §6.2.1 and shown in Fig. 13 of the report. It enforces the 12 mm sensor pitch set by the magnet length and simplifies wiring to the Pico. The 0.01 µF decoupling capacitors are per the DRV5055 datasheet.

production/ holds the fabrication outputs (BOM, positions, designators, IPC netlist); gerbers/ holds the plot files, drill files, job manifest, and the zipped set for upload to a fab house.

The gerbers were exported before this project was renamed from KiCad's default Untitled, so their %TF.ProjectId attribute still carries the old name and its derived GUID. They are left byte-for-byte as generated rather than hand-edited, since the name and GUID have to agree. Re-export from hall_sensor_pcb.kicad_pcb if you refabricate.

Questions

How big is the Hall sensor pcb PCB?

It measures 38 × 10 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hall sensor pcb use?

7 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 Hall sensor pcb KiCad files?

From the nekrutnikolai/depth_sensor repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/hall-sensor-pcb/hall_sensor_pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/hall-sensor-pcb/hall_sensor_pcb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hall sensor pcb design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
