Questions

How big is the BrentsController PCB?

It measures 76.2 × 34.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the BrentsController use?

27 parts, built around the PEC12R-4225F-S0024. 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 BrentsController KiCad files?

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

Can I use the BrentsController design in my own project?

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