Questions

How big is the AudioAmplifier-1 PCB?

It measures 64.8 × 41.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the AudioAmplifier-1 use?

26 parts, built around the LM386 and MCP4131-103E/P. 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 AudioAmplifier-1 KiCad files?

From the brucemack/KC1FSZ-AudioAmplifier-1 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is AudioAmplifier-1.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the AudioAmplifier-1 design in my own project?

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