Questions

How big is the Solartracker pcb PCB?

It measures 62.2 × 67.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Solartracker pcb use?

21 parts, built around the BC817. 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 Solartracker pcb KiCad files?

From the frodegill/SolarTracker repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is solartracker_pcb/solartracker_pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic solartracker_pcb/solartracker_pcb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Solartracker pcb design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
