Questions

How big is the MuseMatrix Core PCB?

It measures 144.5 × 161.7 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MuseMatrix Core use?

84 parts, built around the MCP3008-I/P, 74HC165D and 74HC595. 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 MuseMatrix Core KiCad files?

From the YaelCAV/2425_Maker_MuseMatrix repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/PCB_CAD/MuseMatrix_Core/MuseMatrix_Core.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/PCB_CAD/MuseMatrix_Core/Column_7_Rows.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MuseMatrix Core design in my own project?

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