Questions

How big is the PIC GATE LOCK SYSTEM PCB?

It measures 78.3 × 65.8 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PIC GATE LOCK SYSTEM use?

48 parts, built around the PIC16F886-I/SS, MAX232N, L293D and L7805. 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 PIC GATE LOCK SYSTEM KiCad files?

From the tsokomalusi/Electronic-Gate-Lock-System repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PIC_GATE_LOCK_SYSTEM.kicad_pcb and its schematic PIC_GATE_LOCK_SYSTEM.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the PIC GATE LOCK SYSTEM design in my own project?

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