Questions
How big is the Protosync with teardrops PCB?
It measures 89 × 107.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Protosync with teardrops use?
61 parts, built around the ADS1015IDGS, SN74LVC2G14DBV, CAT24C256LI and H11L1. 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 Protosync with teardrops KiCad files?
From the r8bx/protosync repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is protosync-hardware/protosync_with_teardrops.kicad_pcb and its schematic protosync-hardware/buttons.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Protosync with teardrops design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask r8bx before reusing the design.
