Questions
How big is the HEI Shift Light PCB?
It measures 70.7 × 56.9 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.61 mm thick.
What parts does the HEI Shift Light use?
112 parts, built around the PIC18F16Q41-I/P, FT234XD-R, LM2907 and TPS62153RGT. 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 HEI Shift Light KiCad files?
From the drewsum/HEI_Shift_Light repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hdw/HEI_Shift_Light/HEI_Shift_Light.kicad_pcb and its schematic hdw/HEI_Shift_Light/5v_power_supply.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the HEI Shift Light design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask drewsum before reusing the design.
