Questions

How big is the RP2040QuadMotorController PCB?

It measures 86 × 79.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the RP2040QuadMotorController use?

35 parts, built around the SN74LVC245APW and RP2040-ZERO. 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 RP2040QuadMotorController KiCad files?

From the DrJonEA/RP2040QuadMotorController repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/Untitled/Untitled.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/Untitled/Untitled.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RP2040QuadMotorController 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).
