Questions

How big is the Balancebot PCB?

It measures 51.8 × 58.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Balancebot use?

33 parts, built around the DRV8835DSS, ESP32-MINI-1 and LSM6DS3. 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 Balancebot KiCad files?

From the bullestock/balancebot repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/balancebot.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Balancebot design in my own project?

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