Overview
Psu is an open-source printed circuit board by BoostedMoose, from the BoostedMoose/v-link repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 36.7 × 40.6 mm with 20 parts on 12 nets, routed with 88 tracks and 0 vias.
It is built around the BC548B. Its parts include 7 resistors, 5 transistors, 4 connectors, 1 IC and 1 diode. It belongs with the interfaces and adapters and power boards of this library.

README.mdWelcome to the Boosted Moose V-Link project!
Let's face it. MMIs from the 2000s suck.
This project was started because no suitable aftermarket solution could be found. I wanted to implement live vehicle data as well as AndroidAuto/Apple CarPlay in an OEM like fashion to enhance the driving experience of retro cars and give the user the ability to tinker around.
The heart of this project is the open source V-Link app. It's running natively on Raspberry Pi OS which enables full support of an OS without the restrictions of 3rd party images. The custom V-Link HAT builds the bridge between the Raspberry Pi and the car and works plug and play with the app. To use this application you need a Raspberry Pi, the V-Link Hat (optional) and an HDMI-screen, preferably with touch support.
This project is in ongoing development. Feel free to fork it, create a new branch and open a pull request with your cool ideas. Do you have any tips for improvement, need help or just want to be part of our awesome little community?
Installation
> System Requirements:
Raspberry Pi 3/4/5
Raspberry Pi OS 12 (Bookworm)For the best user experience a RPi 4 or 5 is recommended.
> Run the App:
When using the Installer everything is being set up automatically. More information can be found in the Wiki.
#Download and Install
wget -q $(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/BoostedMoose/v-link/releases/latest | grep -oP '"browser_download_url": "\K[^"]*Install.sh')
sudo chmod +x Install.sh
sudo ./Install.sh
#Test Hardware (Requires V-Link HAT)
python /home/$USER/v-link/HWT.py
#Execute
python /home/$USER/v-link/V-Link.py
#Advanced Options:
python /home/$USER/v-link/V-Link.py -hWiki
Detailed instructions on all the functions and features can be found in the Documentation of this repository. In there you will find schematics, instructions to set up the HAT or your custom circuit and more. Definitely check it out!

Questions
How big is the Psu PCB?
It measures 36.7 × 40.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Psu use?
20 parts, built around the BC548B. 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 Psu KiCad files?
From the BoostedMoose/v-link repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is resources/psu/psu.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Psu 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).
