Overview
AvalancheVCO is an open-source printed circuit board by kassu, from the kassu/kassutronics repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 96.5 × 20.3 mm with 21 parts on 14 nets, routed with 93 tracks and 13 vias.
It is built around the B10K. Its parts include 8 resistors, 5 transistors, 3 connectors and 2 capacitors.
Main components
1README
README.mdkassutronics
Under the label kassutronics I create original circuits for modular musical synthesizers and other do-it-yourself sound electronics projects. Some of these are available for sale as printed circuit boards and face plates, others are only circuits or instructions.
This repository contains build documentation for modules that are for sale, and some smaller projects/workshops that are available as open source material.

Questions
How big is the AvalancheVCO PCB?
It measures 96.5 × 20.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the AvalancheVCO use?
21 parts, built around the B10K. 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 AvalancheVCO KiCad files?
From the kassu/kassutronics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is projects/Avalanche VCO/source/AvalancheVCO.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the AvalancheVCO design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask kassu before reusing the design.
