Rx: common questions
How big is the Rx PCB?
The Rx measures 150 × 8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 0.2478 mm thick.
How many components are on the Rx?
9 components, from 2 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Rx design files?
From the gregdavill/cap-sense-flex repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Rx design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with gregdavill. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
