Questions

How big is the DRV8243 DC Motor Driver Expander PCB?

It measures 73.2 × 31.2 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.67 mm thick.

What parts does the DRV8243 DC Motor Driver Expander use?

174 parts, built around the DRV8243SQRXYRQ1. 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 DRV8243 DC Motor Driver Expander KiCad files?

From the Pan-Robotics/DRV8243-Expander repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is DRV8243 DC Motor Driver Expander/DRV8243 DC Motor Driver Expander/DRV8243 DC Motor Driver Expander.kicad_pcb and its schematic DRV8243 DC Motor Driver Expander/DRV8243 DC Motor Driver Expander/DRV8243 DC Motor Driver Expander.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the DRV8243 DC Motor Driver Expander design in my own project?

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