Questions

How big is the RelayControl PCB?

It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the RelayControl use?

180 parts, built around the ULN2803A and MCP23017-E/SS. 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 RelayControl KiCad files?

From the profdc9/ModularTuner repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Tuner/RelayControl/RelayControl.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RelayControl design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask profdc9 before reusing the design.
