About the View screen PCB
View screen 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 35 × 35 mm, with 7 components from 7 distinct parts.
By type, the board carries 3 resistors, 2 capacitors, 1 transistor and 1 connector.
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…
