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?
41 parts. 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/kicadV3.5/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.
