HL Camera Gimbal

This is 3-Axis camera gimbal capable of lifting medium weight mirrorless cameras thus the HL (heavy lifter), this product features two intertial units eliminating fast movement drifting.

Why making this project?

First it is cooolll in my oppinion, second I found that this would be integrated into other future projects not with the same frame but with the pcb, also My brother owns a camera.

Questions

How big is the GimbalBoard PCB?

It measures 65.4 × 86.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the GimbalBoard use?

52 parts, built around the DRV8313PWP, ICM-20602 and TPS54302. 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 GimbalBoard KiCad files?

From the MohamedAlDeep/Camera-gimbal repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/DesignFiles (KiCAD)/GimbalBoard.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/DesignFiles (KiCAD)/GimbalBoard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the GimbalBoard design in my own project?

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