Adapter
About the Adapter PCB
Adapter is an open source PCB design by PisterLab, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 50.8 × 50.8 mm, with 7 components from 3 distinct parts.
From the project
PCB test platform for MEMS high voltage control and capacitive sensing, including the LeviTAS project
Generate PCB gerbers according to https://www.pcbway.com/blog/helpcenter/GenerateGerberfilefrom_Kicad.html - use copper, paste, silkscreen, mask, edge.cuts - uncheck "use extended x2 format" - drill file with "minimal header" and "suppress leading zeros"
When ordering: - remove label option - extra urgent
Attached for board leveling and reference data.
Using breakout board instead of individual chip because I don't trust my soldering for something that small.

Adapter: common questions
How big is the Adapter PCB?
The Adapter measures 50.8 × 50.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Adapter?
7 components, from 3 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Adapter design files?
From the PisterLab/levitas-pcb repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Adapter design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with PisterLab. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
