About the Euclid Control Board

Euclid Control Board is an open source PCB design by m0xpd, published on GitHub under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 78 × 108 mm, with 105 components from 28 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the TL084 and THONKICONN_JACK. By type, the board carries 55 resistors, 17 diodes, 12 ICs, 8 capacitors, 5 transistors and 2 jumpers.

From the project

EUCLID+ is a Clock Divider, Oscillator and Rhythm Sequencer for electronic music applications

This is actually a photo of the v1 Control Board. This earlier version had a different slightly footprint for C8, which is now a radial electrolytic. Also, some of the PCB tracks carrying power on the v2 version are thicker than on the V1 version, which is archived in the [v1 Control Board folder]

The populated (v1) Control Board is seen (from the top/component side) in the photo below. It is mounted to the Front Panel by the two (9mm Alpha) potentiometers and the ten ("Thonkiconn") sockets mounted on the bottom side.
