Questions
How big is the External sensor module PCB?
It measures 162.2 × 56.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the External sensor module use?
52 parts, built around the MLX90614ESF-BAA-000-TU, MSD-4-A, TPS62162DSGT and USBLC6-2SC6. 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 External sensor module KiCad files?
From the NoidWorks/CDIO_PCBlib repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is external_sensor_module/external_sensor_module.kicad_pcb and its schematic external_sensor_module/external_sensor_module.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the External sensor module design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask NoidWorks before reusing the design.
