Questions
What parts does the RCShield use?
37 parts, built around the TCA9535PW. 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 RCShield KiCad files?
From the Maddimax/MadControl repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/RCShield/RCShield.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the RCShield design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Maddimax before reusing the design.
