Questions
How big is the Vu meter PCB?
It measures 30 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Vu meter use?
63 parts, built around the TL072. 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 Vu meter KiCad files?
From the theWickedWebDev/Modular-Synth repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is VU-Meter/vu-meter.kicad_pcb and its schematic 00_BREAKOUTS/Breakout-AudioJack/AudioJack-Breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Vu meter design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask theWickedWebDev before reusing the design.
