Questions

How big is the Rotary encoder PCB?

It measures 27.9 × 23.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Rotary encoder use?

20 parts, built around the 74HC14. 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 Rotary encoder KiCad files?

From the tlsystems/BreakoutBoards repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Encoder, RGB with Debounce & Current Limit/rotary-encoder.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Rotary encoder design in my own project?

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