Conditioning: common questions

How big is the Conditioning PCB?

The Conditioning measures 30 × 30 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Conditioning?

20 components, from 10 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 Conditioning design files?

From the QSUM-UNB/Frequency-Offset-Lock 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 Conditioning design in my own project?

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