Questions
What parts does the Tape jar use?
28 parts, built around the NE5532 and TL072. 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 Tape jar KiCad files?
From the adeboni/electronics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is scrubotron/main_board/tape_jar.kicad_pcb and its schematic alien_screamer/alien_screamer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Tape jar design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask adeboni before reusing the design.
