Questions
How big is the Paper Tape Punch Driver Board PCB?
It measures 134 × 91 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Paper Tape Punch Driver Board use?
63 parts, built around the 74HC165D, ULN2003 and FQP30N06L. 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 Paper Tape Punch Driver Board KiCad files?
From the simonboak/Paper-Tape-Punch repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/Paper Tape Punch Driver Board.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad/Paper Tape Punch Driver Board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Paper Tape Punch Driver Board design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
