About the Rp2040 encoder PCB
Rp2040 encoder is an open source PCB design by Twisted-Fields, published on GitHub under the Custom license license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 36.7 × 33.3 mm, with 10 components from 10 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the MT6701. By type, the board carries 3 resistors, 2 connectors, 2 capacitors, 1 IC and 1 diode.
It belongs with the robotics & motion designs in this gallery.
From the project
A dual channel brushless motor controller based on the RP2040 microcontroller, designed in Kicad.
The boards cost between $15 and $40 each depending on version and quantity.
Our dream is that you will fab your own boards, make changes, and share your work - giving this design life beyond our efforts.
Designed by Taylor Alexander for Twisted Fields, for the Acorn Precision Farming Rover.
Many thanks to Daniel Theobald. Without your financial support and encouragement this project would not have been possible.
