For Arduino

I created this board to act as a mini shield to provide an easy way to have four analog adjustments on the Arduino with A0 through A3

It uses a common and inexpensive trim-pot form factor, but makes it much easier to connect them to the arduino.

Questions

How big is the Pot Breakout PCB?

It measures 33 × 12.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pot Breakout use?

6 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 Pot Breakout KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Pot Breakout design in my own project?

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