README.mdBugCacther-ITI
This repository includes the the design and implementation of a smart pesticide trap aimed for use in an agricultural environment and developed as part of an internship at the Information Technologies Institute (ITI). Using embedded systems such as ESP32 and cameras, insect photos will be sent to an AI model to estimate the health of a field in real-time.

Questions
How big is the BugCacther PCB?
It measures 90 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the BugCacther use?
33 parts, built around the TIP120. 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 BugCacther KiCad files?
From the stzanetis/BugCacther repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/pcb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the BugCacther 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).
