Overview

TuringBack is an open-source printed circuit board by jypma, from the jypma/modsynth repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 107 × 49.5 mm with 45 parts on 52 nets, routed with 432 tracks and 43 vias.

It is built around the 78L09 and TL072-P8. Its parts include 13 capacitors, 8 resistors, 3 ICs, 2 diodes and 2 inductors. It belongs with the audio and music boards of this library.

Eurorack modules collection

Photograph of various of the modules from here

This repository contains a collection of eurorack module open hardware designs. It is a combination of designs found elsewhere (with references where relevant), and designs by me.

All schematics and boards are in Kicad format, and schematics, board and gerber exports are automated using KiBot and docker (see export.sh).

Modules

The following modules are available:

Utilities

Combined bill of material and shopping list

I'm maintaining a merged bill of material for all modules, with component lists in stock at time of writing.

The only exception is the Teensy 3.0 / 3.1 / 3.2 required for Ornament & Crime. Those are impossible to find at the moment (I happen to have some, hence it's on the list).

Generating BOM, gerbers, and pictures

The script export.sh in the root of the project will generate or update the artifacts in the export/ directory, such as BOMs, gerber files, packages, and various documentation pictures. Most of these files are not version-controlled (but those linked from the markdown documentation are).

Whenever changing a schematic, the export script will update the relevant pictures and artifacts. Re-exporting the same schematic will result in the same picture, so git plays nice with this.

Questions

How big is the TuringBack PCB?

It measures 107 × 49.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the TuringBack use?

45 parts, built around the 78L09 and TL072-P8. 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 TuringBack KiCad files?

From the jypma/modsynth repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is TuringMachine/TuringBack/TuringBack.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the TuringBack design in my own project?

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