From the project
Convert Moog case into Eurorack
It requires +12V as an input and generates two -12V each powering 6 of the connectors and +5V that powers all twelve connectors. Three LEDs monitor the supply rails. It is targeted to Moog cases, but can be used in any case that has +12V. The 12 volt wall wart that Moog supplies works well.
This repo contains the schematic and layout files needed to create the Super Melper. These files are for KiCAD Version: 8.0.8
