Questions
How big is the Processing PCB?
It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Processing use?
200 parts, built around the TL072, CS4270-CZZ, MCP6541R and SN74AUC1G74DCU. 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 Processing KiCad files?
From the mamaheux/bass-amplifier repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is electronics/processing/processing.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Processing design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
