Questions

How big is the TallyLight Panel PCB?

It measures 95.5 × 95 mm and has 4 copper layers, 4.69 mm thick.

What parts does the TallyLight Panel use?

192 parts, built around the ATMEGA328PB-AU, NRF24L01, VEML7700-TT and BSS138DW-7-F-ES. 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 TallyLight Panel KiCad files?

From the SamuelEames/TallySystems repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/TallyLight_Panel.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad/TallyLight/TallyLight.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the TallyLight Panel design in my own project?

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