Questions

How big is the DrumKitButtons PCB?

It measures 297.2 × 76.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the DrumKitButtons use?

125 parts, built around the TLC5917QDRQ1 and 74HC165D. 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 DrumKitButtons KiCad files?

From the aseanwatson/DrumKitButtons repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCAD/DrumKitButtons.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCAD/8-buttons.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the DrumKitButtons design in my own project?

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