Light sensor module, built end-to-end in KiCad

CopperPilot built an LM393 light sensor module in KiCad with full pin-function validation and fabricatable output.

Light sensor module, built end-to-end in KiCad

We built CopperPilot for hardware engineers because we are hardware engineers ourselves, and we wanted this workflow in the tools we already trust.

This light sensor module pairs an LM393 comparator with a trimmer potentiometer and LED indicator, all built in KiCad with CopperPilot. Every pin function was verified against the datasheet, and every connection was checked explicitly rather than assumed.

The result is a clean, fabricatable board and a repeatable process that keeps quality high without forcing teams into a new design environment.
