Questions
How big is the CutOutVersion PCB?
It measures 128.6 × 40.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the CutOutVersion use?
65 parts, built around the LM358 and CD40106BPWRG-HX. 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 CutOutVersion KiCad files?
From the fablabnk/SynthLabBadge repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is BuildGuide/CutOutVersion.kicad_pcb and its schematic SynthLabBadge-backups/SynthLabBadge-2025-06-18_193505/SynthLabBadge.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the CutOutVersion design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask fablabnk before reusing the design.
