Questions

How big is the Glue Board PCB?

It measures 81.3 × 52.8 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Glue Board use?

87 parts, built around the R-745.0D, ADS1115IDGS, AMC1301DWVR and DRV8871DDA. 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 Glue Board KiCad files?

From the arkorobotics/robocar-pinky repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Electronics/Glue Board/Glue Board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Glue Board design in my own project?

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