KiCad Libraries


Daughterboard Heights

Part Orientations

  • For pots with built-in pointers, pot pins go down for pointer to go up at center point

Front Panel Jacks

Eurorack Vertical Pots

Op Amps

  • From this site
    • The TL084 Op-Amp is very similar to TL074 but has high noise immunity and better offset characteristics.
    • The TL074 has lower noise figure, so is better for AC signals.
    • The TL084 has lower offset, so is better for DC signals.
    • The TL084 has better DC performance (low offset) and the TL074 has better noise/distortion performance.
    • You can use TL074s on the audio paths, TL084s on the control paths.
    • TL074 Datasheet
    • TL084 Datasheet
  • The TL074 is $0.75 in qty 10 (on Mouser)
  • The TL084 is $0.55 in qty 10 (on Mouser)
  • The TL072 and TL082 are both about the same price as each other, but are more expensive than the quad parts

Module Kits

Erica Synths EDU DIY Sequencer Build Notes

  • EDU DIY Sequencer
  • Assembly drawing unreadable line weights when printed out
    • Needed to zoom way in on PC to PDF
  • Ref des of parts not in any particular order
    • A break-out drawing pointing to Find Numbers would help a lot
  • No real PL
    • What is called a PL does not list ref des
  • BC548 in design. BC547 was shipped
    • BC547 is a better spec part (same function, higher voltage version)
  • Transistors pad sizes way too small
  • Resistor holes are very big compared to 1/4W lead diameters
  • Getting to the legs of the LEDs was challenging
    • Soldering was not trivial but was the least of the challenges
    • Trimming the legs near the transistor was scary
    • Could not cut one low due to nearby parts
  • Toggle switch has very large holes that make alignment of the switches very difficult
  • Clock In voltage needs to meet CD4000 expected level ~70% of Vcc or about 8V
    • My 5V clock didn't work
      • Replacing the clock unity gain with a comparator might be a good choice, but would create a 12V clock out from a 5V in clock
  • Trimmer 2K was 2K5
  • Unable to get trim all the way to 5V or 2.5V
    • Video has same issue but just w/ 5V
    • Probably not a big issue and might just be "safer"
    • Got closer to the 2.5V position
  • Switches don't turn off the CV, they just shut off the gate
    • Need an Envelope Generator to test
  • Holes to mount in rack are round - slotted would be better possibly
  • All in all, good value for the money
