Questions

How big is the SoilMoistureSensor PCB?

It measures 40 × 72 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the SoilMoistureSensor use?

15 parts, built around the ESP-12E. 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 SoilMoistureSensor KiCad files?

From the SabarnaMahendran/soil_pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Soil sensor/SoilMoistureSensor.kicad_pcb and its schematic Soil sensor/SoilMoistureSensor.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the SoilMoistureSensor design in my own project?

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