Questions

How big is the Controller PCB?

It measures 323.5 × 104.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Controller use?

162 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 Controller KiCad files?

From the MatthewATaylor/Modular-Synth-Hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Controller/Controller.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Controller 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).
