Questions

How big is the FM VCO PCB?

It measures 160 × 99.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the FM VCO use?

104 parts, built around the THS3091DDAR, TL082, BC546B and P600G. 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 FM VCO KiCad files?

From the mimeiners/ans repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is files/kicad/FM-VCO/FM-VCO.kicad_pcb and its schematic files/kicad/Aisler-HSB-2-Layer/aisler-2-layer-hd-drc.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the FM VCO design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
