Ball: common questions
How big is the Ball PCB?
The Ball measures 60 × 60 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Ball?
49 components, from 13 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 Ball design files?
From the Thrcot/ThormasMK2-circuit 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 Ball design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Thrcot. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
