ABW Metronome Kit

This PCB is a basic kit for a metronome that includes a line out option. All of the design files are provided so you can modify them as needed.

The build directions are aimed at people that have never soldered before, and ABW has had great success with this kit as a first time project.  As with all of these kits, we would love for you to copy this for your local activities.

If you would like to generate your own PCBs and source your own parts you can find all the info you need at ClockWorks.
