Is there a board layout drawing of Sparki? I would like to make connection modifications on Sparki and possibly cut some traces or replace parts, so a board layout would be very helpful. The large components are easy to distinguish but the small parts is a guess work.
Salut,
I had a thorough look at the eagle files you can download from github (github.com/ArcBotics/Sparki/tre … lectronics). They used mostly adafruit and sparkfun library parts, so there should be little issues identifying parts for replacements.

Thanks for the info. But I’m looking for specific placement of components in the board. Like, where exactly is R18 & R19 on the board? Also, how do I open and read the .brd file in githup? Is that an eagle file? Which application can I open it with?
Salut,
the .brd and .sch Files are the Board File and the Schematics in Eagle format. You have to download them into a subdirectory on your pc and start Eagle to display.

Salut,
the picture shows the location of R18 and R19. When you select a part in the Brd-view of Eagle, it shows the name and value at the bottom of the screen
Ciao, Mathias
Thanks again. How do I download copies of the .brd and .sch files from Github?..sorry I’m new to this.
Salut,
no worries, I am ahead of you only by a few weeks …
If you go to the github source : https://github.com/ArcBotics/Sparki, there is a button to the right labeled “Download ZIP” that gets you the entire source tree as a zip file. Enjoy!
Ciao, Mathias
Mathias,
Thanks…thought you can just click and download guess you have to zip it up before it gets downloaded. Appreciate your help!!!
