Questions
How big is the Balance byMiguel PCB?
It measures 70 × 104 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Balance byMiguel use?
41 parts, built around the ESP32-C3 and TMC5160-TA. 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 Balance byMiguel KiCad files?
From the malopezr01/Single-Inverted-Pendulum repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/balance_byMiguel.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/balance_byMiguel.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Balance byMiguel design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask malopezr01 before reusing the design.
