Questions

How big is the Volt PCB?

It measures 43.4 × 25.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Volt use?

37 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 Volt KiCad files?

From the wenbang24/volt repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/pcb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Volt design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask wenbang24 before reusing the design.
