Questions
How big is the Poly envelope PCB?
It measures 90 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Poly envelope use?
207 parts, built around the LM358 and TL072. 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 Poly envelope KiCad files?
From the EchelonForce/poly_envelope_pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is poly_envelope/poly_envelope.kicad_pcb and its schematic poly_envelope/AC3310_B.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Poly envelope design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask EchelonForce before reusing the design.
