Questions
How big is the Betula Main PCB?
It measures 39.4 × 110.3 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Betula Main use?
176 parts, built around the TLV9354ID, 74HCT125PW, R-78K3.3-0.5 and R-78K6.5-0.5. 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 Betula Main KiCad files?
From the Cs4System/Eurorack repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Betula/Betula_Main/Betula_Main.kicad_pcb and its schematic Betula/Betula_ADAT/Betula_ADAT.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Betula Main design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Cs4System before reusing the design.
