Questions

How big is the SwitchBus PCB?

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

What parts does the SwitchBus use?

80 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 SwitchBus KiCad files?

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

Can I use the SwitchBus design in my own project?

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