Questions

How big is the ArcadeEncoder PCB?

It measures 56.6 × 38.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the ArcadeEncoder use?

8 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 ArcadeEncoder KiCad files?

From the klein0r/pcb-arcade-encoder repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ArcadeEncoder.kicad_pcb and its schematic ArcadeEncoder.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ArcadeEncoder design in my own project?

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