Questions

How big is the Electronic trombone PCB?

It measures 197 × 159 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Electronic trombone use?

235 parts, built around the CD74HC4051E, L7805 and L7905. 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 Electronic trombone KiCad files?

From the dingjamesj/electronic-trombone repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/Main/Main.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 Electronic trombone design in my own project?

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