Questions
How big is the Robot dog PCB?
It measures 59 × 66 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Robot dog use?
7 parts, built around the PCA9685PW. 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 Robot dog KiCad files?
From the adamsa09/robot-dog repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/pcb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Robot dog design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask adamsa09 before reusing the design.
