KiCad Raspberry Pi Solenoid Driver Board
Alpine designed this RPi add-on board to drive solenoids for test automation; however, it's a generic 10-channel MOSFET board that could also be used to drive relays, LEDS, DC motors, etc.
Features
- Controls up to 10 solenoids (though the number that can be simultaneously activated will depend upon the solenoid and capacity of your power supply)
- 2 of the 10 channels have PWM capability
- Designed for a 9-24V power input and, thus, 9-24V solenoids
- On-board flyback protection for inductive loads
- Designed for fast solenoid switching
Fabrication
See the README_FAB.txt for notes on how the board is fabricated. Fabrication packages can be found on the Releases tab in the Github repo.

Questions
How big is the PiDriver PCB?
It measures 65 × 56 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PiDriver use?
60 parts, built around the 1N4448W and IRLU024NPBF. 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 PiDriver KiCad files?
From the AlpineOT/PiDriver repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PiDriver.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PiDriver design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the BSD-3-Clause licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
