recurboy default_panel notes

  • the mounting holes fit m3 screws
  • the front_panel mounts to pcb with 10mm standoffs
  • 35mm screws will fit top of front_panel, pcb and support pi0 at angle pi0 - 15mm screws should fit bottom
  • the default potentiometers in underscores BOMs have 12mm shaft lengths - consider replacing these with >17mm shaft length alternatives if you plan to use it with a panel

Questions

How big is the RecurBOY PCB?

It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the RecurBOY use?

35 parts, built around the MCP3008-I/P and BAT46. 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 RecurBOY KiCad files?

From the cyberboy666/recurBOY repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/recurBOY.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/recurBOY.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RecurBOY design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
