For power supply, be carefull to choose a device that is powerful enough for the pump. If it's weak, the raspi will reset when the pump is switched on. I tried a 12V/2A successfully.

Questions

How big is the Hydroponic PCB?

It measures 108 × 89.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hydroponic use?

48 parts. 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 Hydroponic KiCad files?

From the transistorgit/hydroponic-PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hydroponic.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hydroponic 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).
