Questions

How big is the Whirl PCB?

It measures 18.6 × 24.9 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.71 mm thick.

What parts does the Whirl use?

22 parts, built around the STSPIN230. 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 Whirl KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Whirl design in my own project?

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