Questions

How big is the QuantizerFront PCB?

It measures 100 × 95 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the QuantizerFront use?

61 parts, built around the 74HC165D and 74HC595. 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 QuantizerFront KiCad files?

From the BenRufenacht/KosmoKassutronicsQuantizer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is QuantizerFront/QuantizerFront.kicad_pcb and its schematic QuantizerBack/QuantizerBack.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the QuantizerFront design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask BenRufenacht before reusing the design.
