ChessBoard
About the ChessBoard PCB
ChessBoard is an open source PCB design by Odissus, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 218 × 218 mm, with 137 components from 4 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the A3144E-JSM and 74HC595N. By type, the board carries 65 ICs, 64 diodes and 8 resistors.
From the project
Interactive chess board design based on Arduino and ESP32
An interactive chess board hardware design based on Arduino Nano ESP32 and KiCad.
Main schematic and PCB project files Local symbol, footprint, and 3D model libraries under lib/ Manufacturing export artifacts under jlcpcbProduction/ Utility scripts under scripts/ for project-related automation
The goal is to keep everything needed to inspect, edit, and manufacture the board inside this repository.

ChessBoard: common questions
How big is the ChessBoard PCB?
The ChessBoard measures 218 × 218 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the ChessBoard?
137 components, from 4 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the ChessBoard design files?
From the Odissus/ChessBoard repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the ChessBoard design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Odissus. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
