Questions

What parts does the RTLS VIC use?

58 parts, built around the STM32F411RET6, AHT20-F, GZP6816D and TLV493DA1B6HTSA2. 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 RTLS VIC KiCad files?

From the BiggiePete/RTLS_VIC repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is RTLS_VIC.kicad_pcb and its schematic RTLS_VIC.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RTLS VIC design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
