Questions

How big is the TouchBoard PCB?

It measures 132.9 × 130 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the TouchBoard use?

292 parts, built around the ATSAMD21G18A-AU, AMS1117-3.3 and SK6812MINI-E. 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 TouchBoard KiCad files?

From the 8-Lambda-8/ShowControllPCBs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is touchBoard/touchBoard.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 TouchBoard 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).
