About the View base PCB

View base is an open source PCB design by Ambition-muzi, published on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 81.2 × 81.2 mm, with 76 components from 27 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the MT6701-CT, T-Micro32_Plus, CH340C, HX711 and TMC6300. By type, the board carries 29 capacitors, 17 resistors, 8 ICs, 8 diodes, 2 transistors and 2 connectors.

It belongs with the displays & leds designs in this gallery.

From the project

A brushless gimbal motor is paired with a magnetic encoder to provide closed-loop torque feedback control, making it possible to dynamically create and adjust the feel of detents and endstops.

⚠️ Update (2022-03-24): As a result of the popularity of this project, it seems like the recommended motors are unfortunately no longer available. I expect that these motors are simply no longer in production and therefore limited stock was available (for future reference in case you find them being sold elsewhere at a higher price, they were originally selling for US$2.56 each before this project was…
