Turbine: common questions
How big is the Turbine PCB?
The Turbine measures 47 × 47 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 0.57 mm thick.
How many components are on the Turbine?
8 components, from 6 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Turbine design files?
From the cscott/rain-barrel repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Turbine design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with cscott. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
