Questions
How big is the Linux control deck PCB?
It measures 102.3 × 78 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Linux control deck use?
19 parts, built around the WS2812B. 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 Linux control deck KiCad files?
From the SebastianFiser/HackPad-DevTool-ControlDeck repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is linux-control-deck/linux-control-deck.kicad_pcb and its schematic linux-control-deck/linux-control-deck.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Linux control deck design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask SebastianFiser before reusing the design.
