VRFan

VRFan consists of firmware, schematic, and PCB for an adapter used to convert a standard 'dumb' USB fan into a HID device, with the intention of doing something with the USB port available on the Oculus Rift DevKit 2 HMD. As a HID device, the fan is software controllable and can be turned on or off at times appropriate for a particular VR scene.

Programs to test device functionality for both windows (in C#) and Linux (in C) are in the WindowsApp and VRFan_LinuxTester directories respectively.

The device is powered over USB and utilizes a PIC16F1455 as the controller and MPLab/XC8 as the toolchain. Schematic and PCB are in KiCad.

Questions

How big is the VRFan PCB?

It measures 38 × 25 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the VRFan use?

12 parts. 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 VRFan KiCad files?

From the centicosm/VRFan repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Board/VRFan.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the VRFan design in my own project?

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