Questions

How big is the Position controller PCB?

It measures 80 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Position controller use?

85 parts. 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 Position controller KiCad files?

From the losonczylab/Hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Electronics/Position Controller/position_controller.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Position controller 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).
