PCB/KiCAD/README.mdGeneral info
All KiCAD files if you want to modify the project for yourself, e.g., sparing out ports you do not need and so making the PCB smaller (but then, you also need to make a new case)
Gerber package for direct submission to PCB manufacturer in the Gerber folder

Questions
How big is the KiCAD RetroArduInput PCB?
It measures 148.3 × 116.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the KiCAD RetroArduInput use?
48 parts, built around the MAX232N and DS18030-100+. 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 KiCAD RetroArduInput KiCad files?
From the RetroFuturisticEngineer/RetroARDUInput repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/KiCAD/KiCAD_RetroArduInput.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the KiCAD RetroArduInput design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the LGPL-2.1 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
