Questions
How big is the SunSensor PCB?
It measures 92.8 × 32.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the SunSensor use?
21 parts, built around the AD7291BCPZ. 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 SunSensor KiCad files?
From the PyCubed-Mini/SunSensor repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is SunSensor/SunSensor.kicad_pcb and its schematic SunSensor/SunSensor.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the SunSensor design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask PyCubed-Mini before reusing the design.
