Questions

How big is the FanPWMtoRotorLock PCB?

It measures 21 × 9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the FanPWMtoRotorLock use?

13 parts, built around the NE555P and MMBT2907ALT1G. 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 FanPWMtoRotorLock KiCad files?

From the mlh5599/FanPWMtoRotorLock repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is FanPWMtoRotorLock.kicad_pcb and its schematic FanPWMtoRotorLock.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the FanPWMtoRotorLock 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).
