Questions
How big is the Bees PCB?
It measures 181.1 × 109.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Bees use?
185 parts. 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 Bees KiCad files?
From the apaleslimghost/synths repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is eurorack/modules/bees/bees.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Bees design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask apaleslimghost before reusing the design.
