Questions
How big is the Strobe controller PCB?
It measures 176 × 98 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Strobe controller use?
37 parts, built around the FQP30N06L, BSP149-VB and RJ45. 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 Strobe controller KiCad files?
From the stormyweathers/strobe-controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is strobe-controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic Single_LED_channel.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Strobe controller design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask stormyweathers before reusing the design.
