About the MD sensor 64x64 PCB

MD sensor 64x64 is an open source PCB design by tactilearena, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 157.8 × 179.6 mm, with 4098 components from 2 distinct parts.

It belongs with the sensors designs in this gallery.

From the project

Scalable high-density tactile arenas for measuring ground-contact forces in freely moving animals: hardware design files, firmware, acquisition and analysis software, and the project website.

Design files for one TactileArena module: a 64 × 64-taxel flexible-PCB sensor and its readout board. A runway uses four of each (16,384 taxels, 512 × 128 mm). Licensed under the CERN Open Hardware Licence v2, Permissive (CERN-OHL-P-2.0).

The Gerber zips are the files the boards were made from. Their copper layers and board outlines match the KiCad layouts in this folder (checked layer by layer).
