Questions
How big is the Fetap board PCB?
It measures 132.5 × 72.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Fetap board use?
22 parts, built around the TIP120. 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 Fetap board KiCad files?
From the mmEissen/fetap repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is schematics/fetap_board/fetap_board.kicad_pcb and its schematic schematics/fetap_board/fetap_board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Fetap board design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask mmEissen before reusing the design.
