Questions
How big is the ElectromagnetController V5 PCB?
It measures 92.8 × 133.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the ElectromagnetController V5 use?
108 parts, built around the ATMEGA328P-AU, UM3486EESA, TLC5971PWP and TLP290-4(E. 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 ElectromagnetController V5 KiCad files?
From the brooklynresearch/FerrousControl repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is embedded/hardware/ElectromagnetController_V5/ElectromagnetController_V5.kicad_pcb and its schematic embedded/hardware/ElectromagnetController_V5/ElectromagnetController_V5.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the ElectromagnetController V5 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask brooklynresearch before reusing the design.
