Questions

How big is the Mss siding test PCB?

It measures 127 × 76.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Mss siding test use?

161 parts, built around the ATTINY861A-SU, AP63205WU, 74HC4049D and PCA9555PW. 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 Mss siding test KiCad files?

From the IowaScaledEngineering/mss-switch repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/mss-switch-test/mss-siding-test.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/mss-switch-test/mss-siding-test.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mss siding test 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).
