Questions
How big is the READER PCB?
It measures 450 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the READER use?
21 parts, built around the CD74HC4067M. 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 READER KiCad files?
From the urichess/chessboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/projects/others/READER/READER.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/projects/chessboard_5cm/BRAIN/BRAIN.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the READER design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
