README
README.mdN32B - Midi Controller
N32B Midi controller is an open source hardware and software. We use the arduino pro micro as the heart of the controller. The N32B is basically an arduino shield and easy to solder project.
You can contribute, build your own or buy a full working device.
You will find the schematics and board layout files in this repository. Feel free to fork, we would love to see what you created!
Firmware Repositories
A separate repositories are available for the device firmware variations:

Questions
How big is the N32B PCB?
It measures 200 × 130 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the N32B use?
61 parts. 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 N32B KiCad files?
From the Shik-Tech/N32B repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is CAD/N32B_Main_Board/v2.0/N32B.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the N32B design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Shik-Tech before reusing the design.
