Overview

Driver Control PCB is an open-source printed circuit board by Monash-Railway-Express, from the Monash-Railway-Express/KiCad_Files repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 64.3 × 97.6 mm with 57 parts on 75 nets, routed with 285 tracks and 46 vias.

It is built around the ESP32-S3-DEVKITC-1-N8, SN65HVD230D and TXS0102DCT. Its parts include 23 resistors, 8 capacitors, 7 connectors and 3 ICs. It belongs with the ESP32 boards of this library.

KiCad-Libraries

To add the footprint library, go to Assign footprints -> Manage footprint libraries -> Add existing library and select the MREx.pretty folder. Alternatively, from the main KiCad project go to Preferences -> Manage footprint libraries -> Add existing library and select the MREx.pretty folder. The library “MREx” will then appear in the footprint library list and you will be able to access its footprints in Assign footprints. When updates are made to the library, pull origin in the cloned repo (clone this repo) and KiCad will use the updated library automatically.

Questions

How big is the Driver Control PCB PCB?

It measures 64.3 × 97.6 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Driver Control PCB use?

57 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-DEVKITC-1-N8, SN65HVD230D and TXS0102DCT. 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 Driver Control PCB KiCad files?

From the Monash-Railway-Express/KiCad_Files repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCBs/DriverControlsPCB/Driver Control PCB V2/Driver_Control_PCB.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCBs/Archive/ScreenPCB/Screen_PCB/Screen_PCB.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Driver Control PCB design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Monash-Railway-Express before reusing the design.
