Questions

How big is the Mct2 buttons PCB?

It measures 61 × 28 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1 mm thick.

What parts does the Mct2 buttons use?

35 parts, built around the TCA8418RTW, 1N4148WT, B3F-1052 and OS102011MS2QN1C. 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 Mct2 buttons KiCad files?

From the ctcl-bregis/mct2 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is full/circuits/mct2_buttons/mct2_buttons.kicad_pcb and its schematic full/circuits/mct2_audio/mct2_audio.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mct2 buttons design in my own project?

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