OpenCTD PCB

The OpenCTD main board is designed using KiCad.

The current OpenCTD [blocked] uses the OpenCTD Rev8 control board [blocked]. Previous generation control boards are archived in Retired.

The Oceanography for Everyone Custom Pressure Sensor breakout board (Ofe_CPS) allows you to build an inexpensive version of the Sparkfun Breakout Board, but requires advanced soldering techniques.

Questions

How big is the OpenCTD Rev8 PCB PCB?

It measures 125 × 33.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the OpenCTD Rev8 PCB use?

13 parts. 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 OpenCTD Rev8 PCB KiCad files?

From the OceanographyforEveryone/OpenCTD repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/PCB/OpenCTD_Rev8_PCB.kicad_pcb and its schematic Retired/OpenCTD_Rev6/PCB/kicad-openctd-rev6/kicad-openctd.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the OpenCTD Rev8 PCB 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).
