Overview
Panel is an open-source printed circuit board by foresterr, from the foresterr/electronics_projects repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 84.9 × 87.1 mm with 28 parts on 224 nets, routed with 1,260 tracks and 98 vias.
README
readme.mdThis is a repository for my various electronic hobby projects.
So far (and for the predictable future) I'm a total noob so the "projects" are more like demo circuits from "teach yourself electronics" books and so on. Some of those books are in Polish, so some project names will be in Polish too.
In addition, this repo will contain my libraries for EDA software that I use. For now this is:
- KiCad - here, I have my own generic symbol library mostly for the looks, because I'm a stickler for a resistor looking just like I want it to look in the schematic etc. Waste of time (standard KiCad libraries are perfectly serviceable), but hey, it's a hobby, not a job.
- VeeCad - this is an awesome program to design layouts for stripboard (sometimes know as veroboard), which is a nice option if you don't want to faff with fabricating custom PCBs just yet.

Questions
How big is the Panel PCB?
It measures 84.9 × 87.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.09 mm thick.
What parts does the Panel use?
28 parts. 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 Panel KiCad files?
From the foresterr/electronics_projects repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is projects/smt_adapters/so16__dip16/panel.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad_libraries/misc_schematics/3 way lightswitch.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Panel design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask foresterr before reusing the design.
