Questions
How big is the Generator PCB?
It measures 54.6 × 21.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Generator use?
26 parts, built around the TPS2514DBV. 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 Generator KiCad files?
From the jonronen/kicad-stuff repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is stepper_generator/generator.kicad_pcb and its schematic pseudo_reverb/pseudo_reverb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Generator design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jonronen before reusing the design.
