Questions
How big is the TunerSection PCB?
It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the TunerSection use?
123 parts, built around the MCP23008-E/P and ULN2803A. 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 TunerSection KiCad files?
From the profdc9/ModularTuner repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Tuner/ReversibleLittleSection/TunerSection.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the TunerSection design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask profdc9 before reusing the design.
