Questions

How big is the Ir switch PCB?

It measures 34.5 × 24.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Ir switch use?

7 parts, built around the NE555P. 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 Ir switch KiCad files?

From the srishtayal/ir-switch repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ir-switch.kicad_pcb and its schematic ir-switch.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Ir switch design in my own project?

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