------ 2025 Daybreak Controls Leaderboard ------ Purpose: Run main Controls code and interface with the motor controller and other systems through CAN. Mouser link BOM: List of components taking up volume outside of board dimensions

  • Molex connectors along the entire perimeter (and one slightly inside) of the board
  • Pin headers on the board LEDs:
  • Cruise controls is on
  • Controls has a fault
  • BPS has sent a fault
  • Motor controller sent a fault
  • Array precharge bypass contactor pin is high
  • Motor precharge bypass contactor pin is high
  • Motor contactor pin is high

Questions

How big is the Controls Leader PCB?

It measures 79.3 × 97.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Controls Leader use?

187 parts, built around the CP2102N-A01-GQFN24, RI3-1205S, CDSOT23-T24CAN and IRLML0030. 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 Controls Leader KiCad files?

From the lhr-solar/Controls-LeaderPCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Controls-Leader.kicad_pcb and its schematic CAN.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Controls Leader design in my own project?

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