Hi Katherine,

We (FRC #4774) are going to use the same sensor boards! Thanks for making them open for others

We (FRC #3132) *1 forgot to include the value of T1 on the schematic. It is a 2N2222 NPN transistor, a TO92 package. Part of me is wondering if we can make all components sit flat so the board could be laminated in a future revision?

BR,

Adam
