Questions

How big is the Power bus PCB?

It measures 121 × 115 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Power bus use?

34 parts, built around the MMBT2222 and DS3231S#. 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 Power bus KiCad files?

From the conservify/glacier repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is archived/power-bus/power-bus.kicad_pcb and its schematic power-2024/power-2024.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Power bus design in my own project?

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