dy-ma/halloween26A small LED/resistor practice board used to learn KiCad schematic capture, footprints, routing, silkscreen, and Gerber export. It is not the tractor controller and was not intended for manufacture.
Base controller is an open-source printed circuit board by dy-ma, from the dy-ma/halloween26 repository on GitHub, published under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 92 × 69 mm with 64 parts on 47 nets, routed with 273 tracks and 85 vias.
It is built around the TPS26600PWPR, CC0603KRX7R9BB104 and MMBT3904, with the CL31A226KAHNNNE, CL31B475KBHNNNE and BAT54S among its other parts. Its parts include 18 resistors, 11 capacitors, 7 connectors, 3 ICs and 3 diodes. It belongs with the ESP32 and RISC-V boards of this library.

It measures 92 × 69 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
64 parts, built around the TPS26600PWPR, CC0603KRX7R9BB104, MMBT3904 and CL31A226KAHNNNE. 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.
From the dy-ma/halloween26 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is base-controller/base-controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic babys-first/babys-first.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
