Questions
How big is the Button vu PCB?
It measures 160 × 149 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Button vu use?
76 parts, built around the TLC5916IN. 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 Button vu KiCad files?
From the maxsterl666/MLSMK1 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad test/button_vu/button_vu/button_vu.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad test/4xoled/4xoled.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Button vu design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask maxsterl666 before reusing the design.
