Questions
How big is the Light sensor PCB?
It measures 30.5 × 30.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Light sensor use?
9 parts, built around the LMC6482IN. 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 Light sensor KiCad files?
From the zhaotl782/light_sensor repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is light_sensor.kicad_pcb and its schematic light_sensor.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Light sensor design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask zhaotl782 before reusing the design.
