Questions

How big is the X27 controller PCB?

It measures 50 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the X27 controller use?

19 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 X27 controller KiCad files?

From the cgbriggs99/InstrumentController repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is circuits/x27_controller/x27_controller.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the X27 controller design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the EPL-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
