Questions
How big is the Mae PCB?
It measures 83.8 × 41.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Mae use?
39 parts, built around the NE5532 and MAX40200AUK. 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 Mae KiCad files?
From the ArnavMK/WaveForge repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/mae/mae.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 Mae design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ArnavMK before reusing the design.
