Serial Port

The serial interface talks to both AX-12 (12V power) and XL-320 (8V power) servos. The design uses SMD parts, but they are all hand solderable.

Questions

How big is the Serial PCB?

It measures 49.5 × 45.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Serial use?

31 parts, built around the 74LS126PC, LM317 and BS170. 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 Serial KiCad files?

From the MultipedRobotics/pyservos repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is archive/serial-port/serial.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Serial 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).
