SM_Ctrl_RC_Servo

Model railroad switch machine controller. Uses a small (SG90) R/C Servo as a switch machine. Built for the Highland Pacific, 854 East Broadway, San Gabriel, CA 91776, USA GPL 3+ If you find it useful let me know dflynn at oxfordvue.com The G2R Rev B may be the final version. A remote config connector and a big capacitor were added. My faverite servo is the hobbyking HX5010 it's inexpensive and well behaved.

Questions

How big is the RCSMCtrl PCB?

It measures 53.3 × 58.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the RCSMCtrl use?

41 parts, built around the PIC12F1822-I/P and L7805. 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 RCSMCtrl KiCad files?

From the DavidMFlynn/SM_Ctrl_RC_Servo repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB G2R Rev B/RCSMCtrl.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB G2R Rev B/RCSMCtrl.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RCSMCtrl design in my own project?

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