Questions
How big is the DualBoost PCB?
It measures 54 × 83.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the DualBoost use?
109 parts, built around the TL072, 74HC14 and H11L1. 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 DualBoost KiCad files?
From the RolandMueller1994/DualBoost repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/DualBoost/DualBoost.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/DualBoost/Analog.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the DualBoost design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask RolandMueller1994 before reusing the design.
