Questions

How big is the TurnoutBoss PCB?

It measures 161.1 × 85 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the TurnoutBoss use?

198 parts, built around the DSPIC33EP512GP506-E/MR, LMV358, LMV324 and TC4428COA. 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 TurnoutBoss KiCad files?

From the JimKueneman/TurnoutBoss repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Design Data/TurnoutBoss 2.0/TurnoutBoss.kicad_pcb and its schematic Design Data/ControlPanel/ControlPanel_Common_Anode/ControlPanel_Common_Anode.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the TurnoutBoss design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask JimKueneman before reusing the design.
