Questions

How big is the VCDO PCB?

It measures 98 × 98 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the VCDO use?

93 parts, built around the TL072, L7805 and L7905. 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 VCDO KiCad files?

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

Can I use the VCDO 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).
