Questions

How big is the Motor control design PCB?

It measures 57.1 × 57.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Motor control design use?

83 parts, built around the STM32F401CCU6, LM2576S-3.3 and SS34. 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 Motor control design KiCad files?

From the explosion33/ARES repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/motor_control_design/motor_control_design.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/Flight_Computer/ARES_FC.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Motor control design design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
