Questions

How big is the VCA PCB?

It measures 100 × 80 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the VCA use?

35 parts, built around the 78L05 and 79L05. 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 VCA KiCad files?

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

Can I use the VCA design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ukmaker before reusing the design.
