Support the Project

Since the project is open you are free to get the PCBs made by your preferred manufacturer, however in case you want to support the development, you can order them from PCBWay through this link:

PCB from PCBWay

You get cheap, professionally-made and good quality PCBs, I get some credit that will help with this and other projects. You won't even have to worry about the various PCB options, it's all pre-configured for you!

Also, if you still have to register to that site, you can use this link to get some bonus initial credit (and yield me some more).

Again, if you want to use another manufacturer, feel free to, don't feel obligated :).

It measures 30.5 × 42.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the OpenC16JoyAdapter use?

9 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 OpenC16JoyAdapter KiCad files?

From the SukkoPera/OpenC16JoyAdapter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is OpenC16JoyAdapter.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the OpenC16JoyAdapter design in my own project?

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