🔧 How to Use

Order your PCB to PCB manufacturer such as JLCPCB to get your own. Use production/gerbers.zip to order.

After you receive the PCB, solder components on it. Then you can use it by inserting a CR2032 battery and plugging it into microphone.

J1 is for audio input so it should be connected to the microphone, and J2 is for output.

Questions

How big is the Microphone converter PCB?

It measures 48.5 × 35.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Microphone converter use?

11 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 Microphone converter KiCad files?

From the hatya-mouse/plugin-power-supplier repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is schematic/microphone_converter.kicad_pcb and its schematic schematic/microphone_converter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Microphone converter design in my own project?

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