AutoWire-Cutter-Stripper

This repository is for documenting the process and project of creating our own automatic wire cutter. The device will be able to take input from the user regarding wire length, options and number of wires.

The original inspiration for this project came from Reddit user "Maclsk" on the subreddit /r/specializedtools, link here: https://www.reddit.com/r/specializedtools/comments/78wd32/i_made_a_specialized_tool_for_cutting_wire/ Our goal is to create a similar device with autostripping for our workplace.

Questions

How big is the AutoWireCutterKC PCB?

It measures 59.7 × 38.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the AutoWireCutterKC use?

20 parts, built around the ATMEGA328P-AU and CRE1S1205SC. 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 AutoWireCutterKC KiCad files?

From the dnatov/AutoWire-Cutter-Stripper repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is AutoWireCutterKC/AutoWireCutterKC.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the AutoWireCutterKC design in my own project?

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