Questions
What parts does the Vco module use?
7 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 Vco module KiCad files?
From the jjgarrid/vco_module repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is vco_module/vco_module.kicad_pcb and its schematic vco_module/vco_module.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Vco module design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jjgarrid before reusing the design.
