Questions

How big is the NoiseGen PCB?

It measures 20 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the NoiseGen use?

15 parts, built around the TL072 and L7805. 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 NoiseGen KiCad files?

From the Sonosus/NoiseGen repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is NoiseGen.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the NoiseGen design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
