Questions
How big is the Maglev PCB?
It measures 280 × 145 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Maglev use?
148 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8, TMAG5173A2QDBVRQ1 and TLV1117LV33DCYR. 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 Maglev KiCad files?
From the fe871bae/Repulsive_Maglev repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Maglev.kicad_pcb and its schematic 3d_hall_sensor.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Maglev design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask fe871bae before reusing the design.
