The Busy board is a board designed for experimetning with various Microcontroller Dev boards. It is there to give you LEDs to make blink, various, buttons, switches and knobs to learn and test code against. The choice in components is based around what parts I have on hand and what is easily available in most beginers kits.
Currently it has the following features
- 4x LEDs
- 4x push buttons
- 8x DIP switches
- 1x Rotary Encorder
- 1x variable potentiometer
- Optional Pull up resistors (enabled by switch)
- Small power distribution array of Pins

Questions
How big is the BusyBoard PCB?
It measures 110 × 48 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the BusyBoard use?
37 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 BusyBoard KiCad files?
From the suidroot/BusyBoard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is BusyBoard.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the BusyBoard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask suidroot before reusing the design.
