Questions

How big is the Photogate PCB?

It measures 50 × 30 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Photogate use?

23 parts, built around the LM393. 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 Photogate KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Photogate 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).
