About the Kicker breakout

Kicker breakout is an open source PCB design by LiU-SeeGoals, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 44 × 37.8 mm, with 14 components from 6 distinct parts.

By type, the board carries 10 resistors, 3 connectors and 1 transistor.

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

From the project

Schematics etc.

Motor driver has 5 pins to the devboard, 2 power pins and 8 pins to the motor

Capacitors and components change capacitance, inductance, etc as the voltage changes. This was not know during the making of driver.

Capacitors should be closer to the pins they are filtering.

There is a risk of overheating if the motors get stuck for a longer time, adding some cooling would be nice.

Kicker breakout: common questions

How big is the Kicker breakout?

The Kicker breakout measures 44 × 37.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Kicker breakout?

14 components, from 6 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 Kicker breakout design files?

From the LiU-SeeGoals/Electronics 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 Kicker breakout design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with LiU-SeeGoals. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
