About the Electroscope through PCB
Electroscope through is an open source PCB design by konspyre, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 21.3 × 45.7 mm, with 17 components from 8 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the ANT. By type, the board carries 6 transistors, 6 resistors, 2 ICs, 2 diodes and 1 battery holder.
From the project
electroscope with through-hole parts
This is a similar board to the surface mount electroscope but is easier (or harder, depending on your manufacturing viewpoint) to assemble and source parts for.
This BOM specifies the amount needed for one board. Parts have been translated from their surface mount equivalents.
