Overview

Hand sensor pcb rail is an open-source printed circuit board by Project-DeepBlue-Juggling, from the Project-DeepBlue-Juggling/Jugglebot repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board of 420 × 25 mm with 2 parts on 2 nets.

It belongs with the sensors and measurement boards of this library.

Hardware bench-rig & analysis tools

A single-ODrive bench rig is set up for isolated single-leg characterisation (brake resistor, separate PSU, isolated CAN bus). The bench scripts and analysers are documented in tools/README.md:

  • Friction characterisation — Stribeck four-parameter fit pipeline (cogging_bench_test.py → friction_study_analyse.py)
  • Stiction breakaway — torque-ramp test with position-only escape detector (breakaway_ramp_test.py → breakaway_analyse.py)
  • Friction feedforward demo — bench-validation of the FF stack (friction_ff_demo.py)

Canonical reference: logbook/2026-04-27-friction-feedforward-bench-validation.md.

Questions

How big is the Hand sensor pcb rail PCB?

It measures 420 × 25 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hand sensor pcb rail use?

2 parts. 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 Hand sensor pcb rail KiCad files?

From the Project-DeepBlue-Juggling/Jugglebot repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hand_sensor_pcb_rail/hand_sensor_pcb_rail.kicad_pcb and its schematic Circuit Diagrams/JugglebotV4/Power and CAN.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hand sensor pcb rail 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).
