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 Inverter PCB?

It measures 49.3 × 51.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Inverter use?

30 parts. 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 Inverter KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Inverter design in my own project?

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