Questions

How big is the Optical Receiver PCB?

It measures 71 × 52 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Optical Receiver use?

14 parts, built around the NJL6401R-3-TE1. 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 Optical Receiver KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Optical Receiver design in my own project?

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