Questions

How big is the FaderBoard PCB?

It measures 80 × 80 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the FaderBoard use?

28 parts, built around the ADS1115IDGS. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the FaderBoard KiCad files?

From the 8-Lambda-8/ShowControllPCBs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is faderBoard/faderBoard.kicad_pcb and its schematic CAT_XLR/CAT_XLR.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the FaderBoard design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
