Questions
How big is the Tortu PCB?
It measures 94 × 81.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Tortu use?
23 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 Tortu KiCad files?
From the cosmith/tortu repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is circuit/Tortu/Tortu.kicad_pcb and its schematic circuit/SoundBox.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Tortu design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask cosmith before reusing the design.
