Questions
How big is the HeadlightBoard PCB?
It measures 109.2 × 15.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the HeadlightBoard use?
9 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 HeadlightBoard KiCad files?
From the RobertPHeller/LibraryCourses repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ArduinoAndRoboticsForKids/HeadlightBoard/HeadlightBoard.kicad_pcb and its schematic ArduinoAndRoboticsForKids/HeadlightBoard/HeadlightBoard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the HeadlightBoard design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
