Questions

What parts does the Backplane use?

159 parts, built around the MAX3232ID, ACS712ELCTR-20A-T, MCP3424-E/SL and FDC6301N. 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 Backplane KiCad files?

From the RuggedPOD/ruggedpod-electronics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is v1/backplane/backplane.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Backplane design in my own project?

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