Questions

How big is the Crate Controller PCB?

It measures 111.4 × 30.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Crate Controller use?

10 parts, built around the 3314J-1-471E. 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 Crate Controller KiCad files?

From the Calamity-Kitten/Crate-Controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/Crate Controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/Crate Controller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Crate Controller design in my own project?

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