Questions

How big is the Motor Controller PCB?

It measures 100.5 × 82 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Motor Controller use?

25 parts, built around the L298N. 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 Controller KiCad files?

From the michelegiorgio/Motor_Controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Motor_Controller/Motor_Controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic Motor_Controller/Motor_Controller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Motor Controller design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC0-1.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
