Questions

How big is the Cut down control board PCB?

It measures 152.4 × 63.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Cut down control board use?

52 parts, built around the ATMEGA328-PU, MPL3115A2R1, L7805 and FQP30N06L. 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 Cut down control board KiCad files?

From the dwkennedy/ballooning repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/cut down control board.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/cut down control board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Cut down control board design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
