README
README.mdPowerVan
The PowerVan is a minivan style pcb with LAE support, forced HHKB, and a bottom row that is inspired by vintage typewriters.
Concept is by swear_wolf. The pcb is based on matthewdias' m3n3van.
Layout
Case
swear_wolf is designing a dedicated case for this. The pcb itself supports standard minivan traymount holes as well as an additional daughterbord for more case compatibility. The HHKB is forced however.
Disclaimer
V1 has a revised JST position, to avoid interference with traymount cases. This version has not been tested yet, but changes are minor.
This PCB has been fully tested and is confirmed to work. However, no-one involved in this project is responsible for any usage issues that may arise. Order at your own risk. Feel free to edit, modify and otherwise utilise these files.

big thanks to the swear_wolf for the idea and inspiration and to matthewdias for opensourcing their invaluable pcb work to the community.

Questions
How big is the PowerVan PCB?
It measures 242.4 × 75.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PowerVan use?
125 parts, built around the AP2112K-3.3, PRTR5V0U2X and SKQGABE010. 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 PowerVan KiCad files?
From the calvin-mcd/PowerVan repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Project/PowerVan.kicad_pcb and its schematic Project/PowerVan.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PowerVan 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).
