About the RC SCX10.3 Rock Control PCB

RC SCX10.3 Rock Control is an open source PCB design by tebl, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-1.2 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 28.3 × 36.8 mm, with 17 components from 11 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the SuperMini. By type, the board carries 6 connectors, 4 transistors, 4 resistors, 1 module, 1 jumper and 1 diode.

From the project

Various projects on the road to creating a more interesting system for lights on RC cars. It won't be small, but at least I'll have fun making it.

Yeah! Turns out that doing exactly that, requires understanding a lot more than simply plugging an LED into a breadboard and turning it on or off - there's logic levels, reading a PWM signal and then figuring out how to design your own PCBs. So I eventually put my parts in the infamous "someday" pile. A decade later, I've learned a few things and it was time to take something off that pile and try again!
