Questions
How big is the Solar tracker PCB?
It measures 101.6 × 53.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Solar tracker use?
23 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 Solar tracker KiCad files?
From the FrancoPalau/Computer-Vision-Solar-Sensor repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/solar-tracker.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Solar tracker design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask FrancoPalau before reusing the design.
