Questions

How big is the Rotary Encoder Breakout Board PCB?

It measures 35 × 55 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Rotary Encoder Breakout Board use?

44 parts, built around the SN74HC14DR(LX). 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 Breakout Board KiCad files?

From the vacuumSpark/Rotary-Encoder-Breakout-Board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is design/Rotary Encoder Breakout Board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Rotary Encoder Breakout Board design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
