Questions
How big is the Reader PCB?
It measures 50 × 58.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Reader use?
77 parts, built around the STM32F103C8T6, TP3232N-SR, LM386M-1 and PMEG2010ER. 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 Reader KiCad files?
From the ostertag/UACS repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is whole_reader/reader/reader.kicad_pcb and its schematic audio_amplifier/audio_amplifier.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Reader design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
