Questions
How big is the Model train cdu PCB?
It measures 81.2 × 82.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Model train cdu use?
20 parts, built around the TIP121. 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 Model train cdu KiCad files?
From the cbrake/hardware-projects repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is model-train-cdu/model-train-cdu.kicad_pcb and its schematic schematics/817-opto-isolator-module.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Model train cdu design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask cbrake before reusing the design.
