My Modular Eurorack Synth

The plan is to build every module myself, with help from the all mighty internet to get schematics and tips.

KiCad 7.0 is used to create the schematics and PCBs. PCBWay or JLCPCB is used for the PCBs.

Planned Modules:

1. PSU: Power supply + Breakout board + Frontpanel

Questions

How big is the PSU PCB?

It measures 99 × 96.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PSU use?

37 parts, built around the LM7805, LM7812 and LM7912T. 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 PSU KiCad files?

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

Can I use the PSU design in my own project?

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