Questions

What parts does the MotorController use?

36 parts, built around the A4915MLPTR-T and FDD3672. 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 MotorController KiCad files?

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

Can I use the MotorController design in my own project?

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