Questions

How big is the Pad controller PCB?

It measures 86 × 64 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pad controller use?

51 parts, built around the TPS56121DQP and FQP30N06L. 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 Pad controller KiCad files?

From the Highlander-Space-Program/pad-controller-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pad-controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic Power.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Pad controller design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Highlander-Space-Program before reusing the design.
