About the Control Board

Control Board is an open source Raspberry Pi PCB design by kitspace-test-repos, published on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 154 × 175 mm, with 67 components from 22 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Mounting_Holes, from the Raspberry Pi family. Other key parts include the LM358P. By type, the board carries 26 connectors, 17 capacitors, 10 resistors, 2 ICs, 1 module and 1 fuse.

It belongs with the dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.

The JPL Open Source Rover is an open source, build it yourself, scaled down version of the 6 wheel rover design that JPL uses to explore the surface of Mars. The Open Source Rover is designed almost entirely out of consumer off the shelf (COTS) parts. This project is intended to be a teaching and learning experience for those who want to get involved in mechanical engineering, software, electronics, or robotics.

Control Board: common questions

What microcontroller does the Control Board use?

The Control Board is built around the Mounting_Holes, from the Raspberry Pi family.

How big is the Control Board?

The Control Board measures 154 × 175 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Control Board?

67 components, from 22 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 Control Board design files?

From the kitspace-test-repos/rover repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Control Board design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which kitspace-test-repos chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Control Board without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Raspberry Pi firmware against it before you order a PCB.
