Questions
How big is the VGA PCB?
It measures 117.5 × 99.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the VGA use?
72 parts, built around the 74HC244D, 74LS245SC, 74LS195APC and 74HC02. 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 VGA KiCad files?
From the cherry-takuan/NLP_VGA repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is VGA.kicad_pcb and its schematic VGA.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the VGA design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask cherry-takuan before reusing the design.
