Questions

What parts does the LSDA paper use?

81 parts, built around the LM324 and BC547. 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 LSDA paper KiCad files?

From the DIY-Nabra/dlopper repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is LSDA_paper/LSDA_paper.kicad_pcb and its schematic LSDA_PCB/LSDA_PCB.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the LSDA paper design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the BSD-2-Clause licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
