Questions

How big is the Vga controller PCB?

It measures 86.9 × 131.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Vga controller use?

20 parts, built around the 74LS161DC. 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 controller KiCad files?

From the coolhalfing79/ESDM-project repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is vga_controller/vga_controller/vga_controller.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Vga controller design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask coolhalfing79 before reusing the design.
