Questions

How big is the Hydra Driver PCB?

It measures 58 × 42 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hydra Driver use?

99 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N4, MIC5504-3.3YM5-TR, SN74LVC1G80DBVRE4 and USBLC6-2SC6. 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 Hydra Driver KiCad files?

From the Project-Touchscape/Touchscape-PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hydra_Driver/Hydra_Driver.kicad_pcb and its schematic AS5600_Mockup/AS5600_Mockup.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hydra Driver design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Project-Touchscape before reusing the design.
