Questions
How big is the Encoder Board PCB?
It measures 19.8 × 20 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.63 mm thick.
What parts does the Encoder Board use?
9 parts, built around the PEC11L-4115F-S0020. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Encoder Board KiCad files?
From the Acliad/Ahsokas-Lightsaber repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB Files/Encoder Board/Encoder Board.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB Files/Encoder Board/Encoder Board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Encoder Board design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Acliad before reusing the design.
