Questions

How big is the Pfm3 ctrl PCB?

It measures 135 × 87 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pfm3 ctrl use?

63 parts, built around the 74HC165D. 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 Pfm3 ctrl KiCad files?

From the Ixox/preenfm3 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/controlboard_SMD/v1.x_for_v2.x/pfm3_ctrl.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Pfm3 ctrl design in my own project?

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