Acoustic levitation
About the Acoustic levitation PCB
Acoustic levitation is an open source PCB design by leastrobino, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-1.2 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 98.8 × 24 mm, with 21 components from 4 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the MAX17079GTL+. By type, the board carries 4 capacitors, 2 ICs and 1 connector.
