An attempt at reverse engineering a wacom one small drawing tablet, with as goal to eventually build a wacom compatible framework 16 drawing tablet module.

Sorry for the unwieldly pcb file, kicad stores images as text in their file format, and this one has rather high resulution scans of the tablet.

Questions

How big is the Reverse engineer pcb PCB?

It measures 198.2 × 123.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Reverse engineer pcb use?

116 parts, built around the CD4051BE. 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 Reverse engineer pcb KiCad files?

From the TT-392/wacom-tablet-reverse-engineering repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is reverse_engineer_pcb/reverse_engineer_pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic reverse_engineer_pcb/reverse_engineer_pcb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Reverse engineer pcb design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask TT-392 before reusing the design.
