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.
