Questions

How big is the Castle PCB PCB?

It measures 99.9 × 99.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Castle PCB use?

106 parts, built around the ESP32-DEVKITC-VE and 74HC595. 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 Castle PCB KiCad files?

From the IvarNilsson/Castle_Automation repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Castle_PCB/Castle_PCB.kicad_pcb and its schematic Castle_PCB/Castle_PCB.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Castle PCB design in my own project?

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