Overview

Clock generator is an open-source printed circuit board by michd, from the michd/modular-synth repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 50.5 × 47 mm with 22 parts on 43 nets, routed with 316 tracks and 28 vias.

It is built around the ATTINY84A-PU and MAX7221CWG+. Its parts include 7 capacitors, 3 resistors, 3 ICs, 3 connectors and 2 switches. It belongs with the audio and music and lEDs and displays boards and the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

Modular Synthesizer

My fiancee and I plan to build a modular synthesizer, for fun. Here's a repository to hold all kinds of stuff to do with that. I imagine it'll hold the following

  • Schematic designs
  • PCB designs derived from those schematic design
  • Some 3D modeling for related hardware
  • Any microcontroller code

Questions

How big is the Clock generator PCB?

It measures 50.5 × 47 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Clock generator use?

22 parts, built around the ATTINY84A-PU and MAX7221CWG+. 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 Clock generator KiCad files?

From the michd/modular-synth repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is modules/clock-generator/kicad/clock-generator.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Clock generator design in my own project?

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