Questions
What parts does the Gamen use?
19 parts, built around the W25Q256JWPIQ, AS4C16M16SA-6TIN and TLP2361(E. 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 Gamen KiCad files?
From the ArnavMK/WaveForge repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/gamen/gamen.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/Gen/gen.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Gamen design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ArnavMK before reusing the design.
