Errors/rework
The digital 'extra' board from 3/17 requires a rework for the digital out and control enable pins [P8 12 and 14]. These should be detached from 5V and attached to 3.3V.

Questions
How big is the Bela input PCB?
It measures 114.3 × 35.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Bela input use?
67 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 Bela input KiCad files?
From the x37v/bela_modular repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is input/bela-input.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Bela input design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask x37v before reusing the design.
