Questions

How big is the Control PCB?

It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Control use?

93 parts, built around the 74LV32APWJ, 74LV08APWJ, SN74LV74APW and SN74LV00APW. 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 Control KiCad files?

From the imihajlow/ccpu repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is boards/control/control.kicad_pcb and its schematic boards/eth/eth.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Control design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask imihajlow before reusing the design.
