Questions

How big is the WindTurbineController PCB?

It measures 60 × 25 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the WindTurbineController use?

33 parts, built around the RT8279GSP and AH1388-HK4. 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 WindTurbineController KiCad files?

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

Can I use the WindTurbineController design in my own project?

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