Questions
How big is the Midi addon PCB?
It measures 32 × 22.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Midi addon use?
13 parts, built around the BAT54XY. 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 Midi addon KiCad files?
From the Synthux-Academy/simple-hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is simple-midi/hardware/midi-addon.kicad_pcb and its schematic simple-midi/hardware/midi-addon.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Midi addon design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Synthux-Academy before reusing the design.
