Questions

How big is the PS2VGA PCB?

It measures 30.8 × 22.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PS2VGA use?

31 parts, built around the LM1881M and SN74LVC1G3157DBVR-GK. 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 PS2VGA KiCad files?

From the jeffqchen/PS2VGA repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCAD/PS2VGA.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCAD/PS2VGA Plug PCB/PS2VGA Plug PCB.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the PS2VGA design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
