Prototype
First prototyp is being made and is based on a Arduino Pro Micro clone and use a LPD3806 rotary encoder. It relies heavily on https://github.com/NicoHood/HID projects. More informations can be found at https://wiki.rfporn.org/doku.php/wiki:projects:vfo_knob

Questions
How big is the VFODial PCB?
It measures 118 × 74 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the VFODial use?
96 parts, built around the BAT43W and BSS138. 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 VFODial KiCad files?
From the PAPRST/VFODialHID repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is prototype/V1.0/board/VFODial/VFODial.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the VFODial 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).
