Questions
How big is the Bridge Controller PCB?
It measures 58.4 × 99.1 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Bridge Controller use?
125 parts, built around the LMV358, ADS1118IDGS, FT232RQ and SMA-J-P-H-ST-EM1. 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 Bridge Controller KiCad files?
From the tkeller12/openEPR repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/Bridge Controller/Bridge_Controller/Bridge_Controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/10MHz Reference/10MHz Reference.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Bridge Controller design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
