Questions

How big is the Vcafd PCB?

It measures 40.5 × 100 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Vcafd use?

223 parts, built around the TL072, LM13700M, MMBT3906 and MMBT3904. 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 Vcafd KiCad files?

From the GuavTek/ACID_VCA repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is core/vcafd.kicad_pcb and its schematic core/agc.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Vcafd design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
