Questions
How big is the LCDadapter PCB?
It measures 58.2 × 59.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the LCDadapter use?
35 parts, built around the PCF8574T. 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 LCDadapter KiCad files?
From the profdc9/ModularTuner repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Tuner/LCDadapter/LCDadapter.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the LCDadapter design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask profdc9 before reusing the design.
