Questions
How big is the Ayn-4b PCB?
It measures 114 × 89 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Ayn-4b use?
278 parts, built around the LM386, NE5532, 24LC64(LX) 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 Ayn-4b KiCad files?
From the afiskon/ayn-4b repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad-project/ayn-4b.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Ayn-4b design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
