Questions
How big is the LC meter PCB?
It measures 78 × 84 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the LC meter use?
93 parts, built around the ADS8328IPW, LM1117DT-3.3, LM1117DT-5.0 and B140-13-F(MS). 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 LC meter KiCad files?
From the schuyler4/LCR_Meter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is electronics/rev1/ecad/LC_meter.kicad_pcb and its schematic electronics/rev1/ecad/LC_meter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the LC meter design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
