ECOS for rev 1

  • R3, R4 too small, LEDs way too bright!
    • Change to 3.3k
  • Tx and Rx reversed? (works fine with 1:1 cable on SCOS board though)

Questions

How big is the Control panel PCB?

It measures 152.4 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Control panel use?

23 parts, built around the ATMEGA328-PU. 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 Control panel KiCad files?

From the eshazen/epic-control-panel repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCAD/control-panel/control-panel.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCAD/control-panel/control-panel.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Control panel design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask eshazen before reusing the design.
