Questions
How big is the Forte encoder pcb PCB?
It measures 36.5 × 35.8 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Forte encoder pcb use?
57 parts, built around the MCP2542FD-E/MF, MA732GQ-Z, LM5164DDAR and DFE252012PD-2R2M=P2. 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 Forte encoder pcb KiCad files?
From the Crafty9813/forte-encoder-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is forte-encoder-pcb/forte-encoder-pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic forte-encoder-pcb/forte-encoder-pcb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Forte encoder pcb design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Crafty9813 before reusing the design.
