Questions
How big is the Smallcontrol PCB?
It measures 60.1 × 50.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Smallcontrol use?
46 parts, built around the 74LVC2G241GS, MAX485ED and LM1117MP-5.0. 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 Smallcontrol KiCad files?
From the edwindertien/animatronics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is picoControl/board/kicadV3.0/smallcontrol.kicad_pcb and its schematic picoControl/board/kicadV1.0/controlbox.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Smallcontrol design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask edwindertien before reusing the design.
