GoGoGo

These projects support the GoGoGo module of the Contextual Electronics course.

The MotorDrive is a circuit board design that supports a brushed DC motor driver.

The EncoderBoard is a circuit board design that supports an optical motor encoder suitable for use with an encoder wheel (see below).

The EncoderWheel is the design for an encoder wheel that will fit the Sparkfun Shadow chasis (ROB-13301) and a Sparkfun 140 RPM hobby gearmotor (ROB-13302).

Questions

How big is the EncoderBoard PCB?

It measures 20.8 × 12.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the EncoderBoard use?

5 parts, built around the RPI-579N1. 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 EncoderBoard KiCad files?

From the AlanFord/GoGoGo repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is EncoderBoard/EncoderBoard.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the EncoderBoard design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask AlanFord before reusing the design.
