Solenoid driver: common questions

How big is the Solenoid driver PCB?

The Solenoid driver measures 45.5 × 48.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Solenoid driver?

17 components, from 13 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Solenoid driver design files?

From the BeeHive-org/BeeHive repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Solenoid driver design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which BeeHive-org chose for the repository.
