Questions
How big is the Laser Arcade Project PCB?
It measures 129.7 × 40.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Laser Arcade Project use?
60 parts, built around the BUK9832-55A-VB. 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 Laser Arcade Project KiCad files?
From the AlexWheelock/Laser-Arcade-Project repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/Project.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad/Blaster.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Laser Arcade Project design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask AlexWheelock before reusing the design.
