Questions

How big is the Light switch controller PCB?

It measures 99 × 43 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Light switch controller use?

50 parts, built around the ESP-12E, BT136-600E, MOC3052M and LNK306GN. 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 Light switch controller KiCad files?

From the VGCH/light_switch repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is board/light_switch_controller/light_switch_controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic board/light_switch_controller/light_switch_controller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Light switch controller design in my own project?

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