FerroBot

First attempt of making a FerroBot based on https://github.com/The-Brainery/FerroBot.

This version has the option to be controlled via microcontroller or the FerroBot controller board (https://github.com/wheeler-microfluidics/FerroBot-Button-Controller.kicad)

Questions

How big is the FerroBot PCB?

It measures 170 × 140 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the FerroBot use?

93 parts. 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 FerroBot KiCad files?

From the wheeler-microfluidics/FerroBot repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is FerroBot.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the FerroBot design in my own project?

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