Questions
How big is the BVCU PCB?
It measures 150.1 × 79.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the BVCU use?
56 parts, built around the MCP2551-I/SN-HG. 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 BVCU KiCad files?
From the LuleaFormulaStudent/BVCU repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is BVCU.kicad_pcb and its schematic BVCU.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the BVCU design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask LuleaFormulaStudent before reusing the design.
