Questions
How big is the Geodude carrier PCB?
It measures 150 × 118 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Geodude carrier use?
38 parts, built around the PCA9685PW. 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 Geodude carrier KiCad files?
From the zeulewan/geodude-control repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/geodude-carrier/geodude-carrier.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/geodude-carrier/geodude-carrier.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Geodude carrier design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask zeulewan before reusing the design.
