Mutable Instruments' Eurorack Modules.

Forked from pichenettes' version and identical except:

  • Eagle brd and sch files converted to XML (making possible import into KiCad)
  • For some modules, KiCad versions have been added

I have updated this repo to reflect upstream changes, but I am no longer able to convert the Eagle files, so not all are available as XML.

Questions

How big is the Tides v40 PCB?

It measures 69.2 × 106.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Tides v40 use?

140 parts, built around the STM32F103CBT6, TL072, MCP6002-I/P and MCP6004-E/P. 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 Tides v40 KiCad files?

From the jonstapleton/mutable_eurorack repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is tides/hardware_design/pcb/KiCad/tides_v40.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Tides v40 design in my own project?

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