Questions

How big is the Main board a4988 PCB?

It measures 50 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.59 mm thick.

What parts does the Main board a4988 use?

24 parts, built around the ATMEGA8-16PC, L293D and L7805. 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 Main board a4988 KiCad files?

From the evilosa/lead-machine repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is electronic/main-board-a4988/main-board.kicad_pcb and its schematic electronic/front-panel/front-panel.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Main board a4988 design in my own project?

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