Questions

How big is the Gesc PCB?

It measures 55.5 × 0 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Gesc use?

159 parts, built around the 2ED2304S06F, INA240A1D, LM5008MM and SN74LVC1G66DBVR-TP. 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 Gesc KiCad files?

From the CTSchorsch/gesc repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is gesc.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Gesc design in my own project?

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