Questions

How big is the DWAVE PCB?

It measures 34 × 23.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the DWAVE use?

28 parts, built around the SAM2695 and LP2985-33DBV. 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 DWAVE KiCad files?

From the hkzlab/DWAVE_MIDI_Wavetable repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is DWAVE.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the DWAVE design in my own project?

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