Questions
How big is the EVolver pwm PCB?
It measures 33 × 66 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the EVolver pwm use?
66 parts, built around the TLC5940PWP, TLV1117LV33DCYR, AO3422 and ZHCS506TA. 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 EVolver pwm KiCad files?
From the FYNCH-BIO/hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Vial Platform/PWM/eVolver_pwm.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the EVolver pwm design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask FYNCH-BIO before reusing the design.
