Questions
How big is the Controller PCB?
It measures 60 × 57.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Controller use?
34 parts, built around the MSP430G2553CY, FT232RL and 100UF/16V. 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 Controller KiCad files?
From the terjeio/PCBLaserSchematics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Controller/Controller.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Controller design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask terjeio before reusing the design.
