Questions

How big is the Audcalc PCB?

It measures 65 × 100 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Audcalc use?

218 parts, built around the RP2040, W25Q32JVSSIQ, HCPL-0631 and MCP73831T-2ATI/OT-HXY. 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 Audcalc KiCad files?

From the sinitsinmike/Audcalc2 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/audcalc/audcalc.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/audcalc/ButtonsLEDS.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Audcalc design in my own project?

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