Questions

How big is the BionicCactusPCB PCB?

It measures 71.1 × 109.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the BionicCactusPCB use?

41 parts, built around the HX711. 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 BionicCactusPCB KiCad files?

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

Can I use the BionicCactusPCB design in my own project?

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