Questions

How big is the Load Ballancing Circuit PCB?

It measures 33 × 39.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Load Ballancing Circuit use?

30 parts, built around the MAX11615EEE+, INA139NA and LTC4359HMS8#PBF. 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 Load Ballancing Circuit KiCad files?

From the ncsurobotics/SW8E-Load-Balancing-Board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Load Ballancing Circuit.kicad_pcb and its schematic Load Ballancing Circuit.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Load Ballancing Circuit 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).
