Questions
How big is the Protector PCB?
It measures 32.2 × 15.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Protector use?
10 parts, built around the BQ29707DSE and CSD16301Q2. 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 Protector KiCad files?
From the byrantech/laptop repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is keyboard/protector/protector.kicad_pcb and its schematic audio/audio.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Protector design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
