Questions

How big is the NeuroBytes Force Sensor PCB?

It measures 44.5 × 19 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the NeuroBytes Force Sensor use?

26 parts, built around the RCLAMP0503F.TCT and MMBT3904. 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 NeuroBytes Force Sensor KiCad files?

From the NeuroTinker/NeuroBytes_Force_Sensor repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is HARDWARE/NeuroBytes_Force_Sensor.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the NeuroBytes Force Sensor design in my own project?

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