About the View screen PCB
View screen is an open source PCB design by Konn1nn, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 35 × 35 mm, with 12 components from 9 distinct parts.
By type, the board carries 5 connectors, 3 resistors, 2 capacitors and 1 transistor.
It belongs with the wearables and displays & leds designs in this gallery.
From the project
This repo is to document the recreation of the smartknob and the electrical analysis of its workings.
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.
