Questions
How big is the Soundoff PCB?
It measures 24.9 × 19.3 mm and has 4 copper layers, 0.8 mm thick.
What parts does the Soundoff use?
29 parts, built around the STM32F042G6U6, XC6206P332MR-G, CH334F and EMS4000RSW. 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 Soundoff KiCad files?
From the xobs/soundoff repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Soundoff.kicad_pcb and its schematic Soundoff.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Soundoff design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask xobs before reusing the design.
