Questions
How big is the HotplateController PCB?
It measures 75 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the HotplateController use?
42 parts, built around the MAX31855KASA+T. 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 HotplateController KiCad files?
From the akowalczyk18/HotplateController repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is HotplateController/HotplateController.kicad_pcb and its schematic HotplateController/HotplateController.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the HotplateController design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask akowalczyk18 before reusing the design.
