Solenoid-shooter

This doesn't seem to work all that well. More experimentation required.

This tiny board is designed to handle quick pulses of current to a solenoid. It has a mosfet to trigger it, a capacitor for providing the pulse of current, and flyback diode, and an inrush limiting resistor. If fired at it's highest rate, the board should average out to ~100mA consumption

Questions

How big is the Pulsr panel PCB?

It measures 86.7 × 97.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pulsr panel use?

231 parts, built around the 1N4007L and FDN339AN. 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 Pulsr panel KiCad files?

From the Duckle29/pulsr repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is panelized/pulsr-panel.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Pulsr panel design in my own project?

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