Questions
How big is the Ping Pong Ball Launcher PCB?
It measures 5 × 11.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Ping Pong Ball Launcher use?
68 parts, built around the ESP32-S2-SOLO-N4R2, TB6612FNG,C,8,EL, TPS62933DRL and BSS138. 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 Ping Pong Ball Launcher KiCad files?
From the Pebblin/PCB-Files repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Ping Pong Ball Launcher/Ping Pong Ball Launcher/Ping Pong Ball Launcher.kicad_pcb and its schematic Ping Pong Ball Launcher/Ping Pong Ball Launcher/Ping Pong Ball Launcher.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Ping Pong Ball Launcher design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Pebblin before reusing the design.
