Questions

What parts does the CRT Driver use?

354 parts, built around the ESP-12E, LM2576HVS-5, IRF3205 and US1A. 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 CRT Driver KiCad files?

From the chr1snv/CRT-Driver repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is crtDriver.kicad_pcb and its schematic BLDC_Driver.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the CRT Driver design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask chr1snv before reusing the design.
