Questions

How big is the Repowered Electronic Load Module PCB?

It measures 46 × 25 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Repowered Electronic Load Module use?

27 parts, built around the DAC101C081CIMK, LP2985-33DBV and IRFP27N60KPBF. 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 Repowered Electronic Load Module KiCad files?

From the AdamC19/Electronic_Load_HW repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Repowered_Electronic_Load_Module/Repowered_Electronic_Load_Module.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Repowered Electronic Load Module design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask AdamC19 before reusing the design.

    2B is the "definitive" version so all code going forward is designed for that version of the board. Minor hardware differences mean that code for 2.0 may not work on 2.0B without tweaks (mostly related to ram banking)
