Questions
How big is the Mouse Control Circuit PCB?
It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Mouse Control Circuit use?
35 parts, built around the TIP120. 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 Mouse Control Circuit KiCad files?
From the RephlexZero/Mouse-Control-CircuitPython repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Circuit/Mouse-Control-Circuit.kicad_pcb and its schematic Circuit/Mouse-Control-Circuit.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Mouse Control Circuit design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask RephlexZero before reusing the design.
