Drag and drop the /gerber files to

https://www.pcbgogo.com/GerberViewer.html

to view the pcb in 2D, or to

http://mayhewlabs.com/webGerber

to view them in 3D.

If you want to order some pcbs from somewhere then usually you need to .zip these files and then upload them.

The pcb designs were created using KiCad v5.0. If you want to modify the design and create your own gerber files then you need to do the following:

  1. Open pcb01.kicad_pcb with pcbnew
  2. Go to File -> File Plot
  3. Press the 'Plot' button and then press the 'Generate Drill Files' button
  4. Select 'Zeros Format:Keep zeros' and then press the 'Generate Drill File' button.

Questions

How big is the Pcb01 PCB?

It measures 50 × 70 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pcb01 use?

18 parts, built around the HC-05. 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 Pcb01 KiCad files?

From the sheffieldhackspace/balancing-bot repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicadFiles/pcb01.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Pcb01 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
