Questions
How big is the Envelope Generator PCB?
It measures 78 × 57 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Envelope Generator use?
65 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 Envelope Generator KiCad files?
From the dingjamesj/electronic-trombone repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/Envelope Generator/Envelope Generator.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad/Amplifier/Amplifier.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Envelope Generator design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask dingjamesj before reusing the design.
