Questions
How big is the RPi FanController PCB?
It measures 10.2 × 12 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the RPi FanController use?
8 parts, built around the IRLML2502. 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 RPi FanController KiCad files?
From the AlexanderMandera/RPi-FanController repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is RPi-FanController.kicad_pcb and its schematic RPi-FanController.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the RPi FanController design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
