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).
