Questions

How big is the Harmonic jerkulator PCB?

It measures 91 × 87 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Harmonic jerkulator use?

45 parts, built around the DTC123YE, BAS21, BC856 and DTA114E. 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 Harmonic jerkulator KiCad files?

From the Randagodron/harmonic-jerkulator repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is cad/harmonic_jerkulator.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Harmonic jerkulator design in my own project?

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