- R3, R4 too small, LEDs way too bright!
- Change to 3.3k
- Tx and Rx reversed? (works fine with 1:1 cable on SCOS board though)

Questions
How big is the Control panel PCB?
It measures 152.4 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Control panel use?
23 parts, built around the ATMEGA328-PU. 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 Control panel KiCad files?
From the eshazen/epic-control-panel repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCAD/control-panel/control-panel.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCAD/control-panel/control-panel.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Control panel design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask eshazen before reusing the design.
