Path Pilot

Path Pilot is a self-navigating robot built on an AVR128DB28 microcontroller. It was developed as part of a project during my second year of Electrical Engineering.

PCB

As an additional aspect of our project, our group had the opportunity to design and order a PCB for our circuit. This was our first exposure to PCB design, and since it wasn't a requirement for the project, we had to learn how to use PCB design software independently. Here is what we came up with.

Questions

How big is the Path pilot pcb PCB?

It measures 75 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Path pilot pcb use?

37 parts, built around the IR2110L4 and IRF540N. 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 Path pilot pcb KiCad files?

From the kj-49/path-pilot repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/path-pilot-pcb/path-pilot-pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/path-pilot-pcb/path-pilot-pcb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Path pilot pcb design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask kj-49 before reusing the design.
