Questions
How big is the Encoder PCB?
It measures 32 × 14 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Encoder use?
7 parts, built around the MT6701CT-STD and SMF5.0CA. 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 Encoder KiCad files?
From the dwanpo/balancer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/encoder/encoder.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/bak/bldcDriver/bldcDriver.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Encoder design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask dwanpo before reusing the design.
