Detector: common questions
How big is the Detector PCB?
The Detector measures 35.6 × 27.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Detector?
32 components, from 14 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Detector design files?
From the bodokaiser/position-sensitive-detector repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Detector design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with bodokaiser. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
