Questions
How big is the Lightsaber PCB?
It measures 8.9 × 15 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Lightsaber use?
9 parts, built around the BAT54C and IRLML0030TRPBF. 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 Lightsaber KiCad files?
From the andreas-str/tiny-power-board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is lightsaber.kicad_pcb and its schematic lightsaber.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Lightsaber design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask andreas-str before reusing the design.
