Questions
How big is the ESC PCB?
It measures 41.6 × 42 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the ESC use?
71 parts. 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 ESC KiCad files?
From the CalebJM04/ESC repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ESC/ESC.kicad_pcb and its schematic ESC/ESC.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the ESC design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask CalebJM04 before reusing the design.
