Kinisi motor controller board: common questions
What microcontroller does the Kinisi motor controller board use?
The Kinisi motor controller board is built around the STM32F405RGT6, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Kinisi motor controller board?
The Kinisi motor controller board measures 75 × 60 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Kinisi motor controller board?
72 components, from 44 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 Kinisi motor controller board design files?
From the szolotykh/kinisi-motor-controller-board 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 Kinisi motor controller board design in my own project?
