Questions
How big is the Motor Driver PCB PCB?
It measures 42 × 42 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Motor Driver PCB use?
27 parts, built around the A4988SETTR-T, AS5600-ASOT, WSL2512R0500FEA and UWT1H101MNL1GS. 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 Motor Driver PCB KiCad files?
From the max-proj17/Self-Balancing-Bot repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Self-Balancing-Bot-Pid/PCBs/Motor Driver PCB/Motor Driver PCB.kicad_pcb and its schematic Self-Balancing-Bot-Pid/PCBs/Motor Driver PCB/Motor Driver PCB.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Motor Driver PCB 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).
