Questions

How big is the RelayDriver PCB?

It measures 28 × 18 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the RelayDriver use?

4 parts. 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 RelayDriver KiCad files?

From the AgOpenGPS-Official/Rate_Control repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is RelayDriver5/RelayDriver.kicad_pcb and its schematic ESP32/RC15/Analog.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RelayDriver design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
