Questions
How big is the Solar Tracking Board PCB?
It measures 53 × 68 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Solar Tracking Board use?
23 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 Solar Tracking Board KiCad files?
From the MitchellStride/SolarTrackingShield repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/Solar_Tracking_Board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Solar Tracking Board design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask MitchellStride before reusing the design.
