Questions

How big is the VCF1 PCB?

It measures 55 × 105 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the VCF1 use?

57 parts, built around the CA3080A and TL084. 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 VCF1 KiCad files?

From the gueldenstone/VCF repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is VCF1.kicad_pcb and its schematic VCF.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the VCF1 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
