Overview

Thrust v2 is an open-source printed circuit board by jmajew, from the jmajew/thrust_tool repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 83.8 × 61 mm with 187 parts on 115 nets, routed with 1,169 tracks and 159 vias.

It is built around the HX711, MIC5504-3.3YM5 and USBLC6-2P6, with the B340A-13-F-MS and MMBT4403 among its other parts. Its parts include 65 capacitors, 44 resistors, 14 connectors, 9 ICs and 7 diodes. It belongs with the sensors and measurement and robots and motor control boards and the STM32 boards of this library.

ThrustTool

The ThrustTool is a DIY tool for measurements of an electric motor with propeller. It allows to measure thrust, torque, rotation speed, battery voltage and current.

The project is by no means finished (especially firmware thrust++ and ThrustApp). However in current stage it works quite well allowing to obtain the results (e.g., see auto generated report (in latex) T-Motor F1507 with t3140 propeller).

The project includes:

3D render of the tool

Warning

The project is delivered as is. All responsibilities lies on the side of the user. Remember to take adequate security measures when testing any motor (especially powerful one).

Questions

How big is the Thrust v2 PCB?

It measures 83.8 × 61 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Thrust v2 use?

187 parts, built around the HX711, MIC5504-3.3YM5, USBLC6-2P6 and B340A-13-F-MS. 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 Thrust v2 KiCad files?

From the jmajew/thrust_tool repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Board/thrust_v2.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Thrust v2 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).
