Questions

How big is the Radio panel PCB?

It measures 170 × 45 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Radio panel use?

28 parts, built around the TM1638, 74LS148P-E and FJ3661AH. 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 Radio panel KiCad files?

From the jaxsonpd/trimware-hw repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is radio_panel/pcb/v0_1/radio_panel.kicad_pcb and its schematic radio_panel/pcb/radio_panel/radio_panel.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Radio panel design in my own project?

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