Questions
How big is the Wave folder PCB?
It measures 99.1 × 99.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Wave folder use?
91 parts, built around the TL072. 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 Wave folder KiCad files?
From the JordanAceto/angelo_modular repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb_docs/wave_folder/kicad_docs/wave_folder.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Wave folder design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
