Questions

How big is the 74595 LED Controller PCB?

It measures 53.3 × 53.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 74595 LED Controller use?

13 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 74595 LED Controller KiCad files?

From the garoa/74595_LED_Controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/74595_LED_Controller.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 74595 LED Controller design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
