Questions
How big is the NEMA17 FOC Driver PCB?
It measures 42 × 42 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the NEMA17 FOC Driver use?
36 parts, built around the TCAN332D, DRV8844PWPR, MT6701CT-STD and 24LC64(LX). 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 NEMA17 FOC Driver KiCad files?
From the maxmunzner/RobotArm repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/NEMA17_FOC_Driver/PCB/NEMA17_FOC_Driver.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/NEMA17_FOC_Driver/PCB/NEMA17_FOC_Driver-backups/NEMA17_FOC_Driver-2026-01-14_214247/NEMA17_FOC_Driver.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the NEMA17 FOC Driver design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
