Questions

How big is the VESC 6.4 PCB?

It measures 62 × 60 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the VESC 6.4 use?

429 parts, built around the NRF24L01P-R, DRV8301DCA and TJA1051TK/3/1. 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 VESC 6.4 KiCad files?

From the veazhang/VESC-6 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is VESC_6.4.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the VESC 6.4 design in my own project?

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