Current Sensing: common questions

How big is the Current Sensing PCB?

The Current Sensing measures 132 × 94.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Current Sensing?

98 components, from 16 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Current Sensing design files?

From the nyu-rdt/RDT26-EE repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Current Sensing design in my own project?

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