Questions
How big is the Controller1 PCB?
It measures 160 × 113 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Controller1 use?
57 parts, built around the SJ-3523-SMT-TR. 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 Controller1 KiCad files?
From the KyGuy2002/ProjectDMX-PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is controller/controller1.kicad_pcb and its schematic amp-module/amp-module.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Controller1 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask KyGuy2002 before reusing the design.
