Questions

How big is the MiniRC PCB?

It measures 113.5 × 64 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MiniRC use?

92 parts, built around the MT3608, AMS1117-3.3, MPU-6050 and TPS54302. 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 MiniRC KiCad files?

From the Apole-dev/mini-rc-kicad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MiniRC.kicad_pcb and its schematic MiniRC.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MiniRC design in my own project?

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