Questions
How big is the Robot cortex PCB?
It measures 27.5 × 35.8 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Robot cortex use?
91 parts, built around the STM32G431CBT6, ESP32-WROOM-32E-H4, TLE9250XSJXUMA1 and TPS63070RNM. 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 Robot cortex KiCad files?
From the Ocanath/robot-coprocessor-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is robot-cortex.kicad_pcb and its schematic 3V3-Supply.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Robot cortex design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Ocanath before reusing the design.
