Overview

Utf-9-samplified is an open-source printed circuit board by wgd-modular, from the wgd-modular/utf-9-samplified repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 100 × 70 mm with 27 parts on 42 nets, routed with 292 tracks and 5 vias.

It is built around the MCP4901-E/P and PJ301M-12. Its parts include 8 switches, 6 resistors, 3 connectors, 2 ICs and 2 diodes. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

Make sure to flash the Arduino first and then solder it in directly - otherwise it will be too high and the frontpanel wont fit. Make sure you have a genuine arduino nano!

Questions

How big is the Utf-9-samplified PCB?

It measures 100 × 70 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Utf-9-samplified use?

27 parts, built around the MCP4901-E/P and PJ301M-12. 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 Utf-9-samplified KiCad files?

From the wgd-modular/utf-9-samplified repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic panel/panel.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Utf-9-samplified design in my own project?

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