Questions

How big is the 16-LED board PCB?

It measures 41.7 × 34.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 16-LED board use?

36 parts, built around the 74HC595. 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 16-LED board KiCad files?

From the armgit5/16-LED-board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 16-LED-board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 16-LED board design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask armgit5 before reusing the design.
