Questions

How big is the LCP PCB?

It measures 71.1 × 61 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the LCP use?

9 parts, built around the HX711. 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 LCP KiCad files?

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

Can I use the LCP design in my own project?

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