Questions
How big is the Driver PCB?
It measures 188 × 66.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Driver use?
42 parts, built around the FGA60N65SMD, UCC27425D, 74HC14 and NE555P. 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 KiCad files?
From the Outurnate/tesla-coil repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/driver.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/audio_adapter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Driver design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
