Questions

How big is the VCU CM4 PCB?

It measures 100 × 90 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.61 mm thick.

What parts does the VCU CM4 use?

461 parts, built around the TCAN1042VDRQ1, TPS5430DDA, MSD-4-A and MCP2518FD-E/SL. 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 VCU CM4 KiCad files?

From the NTURacingTeam/nturt_kicad_EP7 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Electrical_Group/VCU_CM4/VCU_CM4.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the VCU CM4 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask NTURacingTeam before reusing the design.
