Questions
How big is the DARPA MCTR PCB?
It measures 52 × 51 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1 mm thick.
What parts does the DARPA MCTR use?
100 parts, built around the SC0914(13), TCAN3413DRB, TPSM843521RCJR and W25Q128JVSIQ. 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 DARPA MCTR KiCad files?
From the Alsa2/ThumbMuncher repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is IntegratedMotorController_pcb/.history/DARPA_MCTR.kicad_pcb and its schematic IntegratedMotorController_pcb/.history/DARPA_MCTR.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the DARPA MCTR design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Alsa2 before reusing the design.
