Questions

How big is the Main Panel PCB?

It measures 165 × 165 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Main Panel use?

74 parts, built around the TCA6424ARGJR and TLC5947DAP. 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 Main Panel KiCad files?

From the Tolga-Cav/USB-Control-Panel-v1 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Main_Panel/Main_Panel.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Buttons/Buttons.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

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

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