LittleBen eurorack master clock

alt text

LittleBen is a masterclock for eurorack. It's based on a Arduino Mini. This is the second version. I decided to open source all files for this module. In this repo you will find all the files needed for making the pcb and panel for littleben. This files are created with Kicad 6.

This version has a few minor issues I would like to fix.

  • The panel has a hole for the lcd screen thats need a little bit more on the left side and a little less on the right side.

Questions

How big is the LittleBenv2 PCB?

It measures 125.5 × 96.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the LittleBenv2 use?

49 parts, built around the 74HC595 and L7805. 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 LittleBenv2 KiCad files?

From the Quinienl/LittleBen repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is LittleBenv2.kicad_pcb and its schematic LittleBenv2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the LittleBenv2 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Quinienl before reusing the design.
