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.
