About the Kin3ct PCB

Kin3ct is an open source Raspberry Pi PCB design by KavEn06, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 34.5 × 82 mm, with 5 components from 2 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RASPBERRY_PI_5, from the Raspberry Pi family. By type, the board carries 4 switches and 1 IC.

From the project

3D Scanner

If anyone wants to take a peek at the CAD model, here’s the Onshape document link.

Interms of the wiring for the Kinect, it goes such as: Kinect -> Adapter -> Raspberry 5 Power -> Adapter -> Raspberry Pi 5 and Kinect

For the actual scanning, I’m planning to run RTAB‑Map on the Raspberry Pi 5. RTAB‑Map is an open‑source SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) library that can build a 3D point cloud live while scanning, which is exactly what I wanted from the start.

Kin3ct: common questions

What microcontroller does the Kin3ct use?

The Kin3ct is built around the RASPBERRY_PI_5, from the Raspberry Pi family.

How big is the Kin3ct PCB?

The Kin3ct measures 34.5 × 82 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Kin3ct?

5 components, from 2 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 Kin3ct design files?

From the KavEn06/Kin3ct repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Kin3ct design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with KavEn06. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Kin3ct without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Raspberry Pi firmware against it before you order a PCB.
