Three PCB files, one per circuit schematic in hardware/schematics/, each with real component footprints placed on a board outline — not just a schematic-level BOM. No copper routing yet — that's a deliberately separate, not-yet-done step (see "Status" below).

- sensorconditioning.kicadpcb — 15 component footprints + 4 M3 mounting holes, 70×45mm outline. - actuatordrive.kicadpcb — 9 component footprints + 4 M3 mounting holes, 65×45mm outline. - powersupply.kicadpcb — 14 component footprints + 4 M3 mounting…
