Cablebot controller
About the Cablebot controller PCB
Cablebot controller is an open source PCB design by romi, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 95.1 × 38.5 mm, with 12 components from 8 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the Adafruit_Feather_M0_Basic_Proto. By type, the board carries 4 connectors, 3 diodes, 2 switches, 1 module and 1 resistor.
From the project
Just one set is needed either small or big, depending on cable tension (big is better for high tension).
