Revision History
So far there are no functional differences across the various revisions, just rerouting, pin swapping and part changes
- Rev A: Initial Revision
- Rev B: Design into smaller PCB
- Rev C: Tweak PCB design, change LDO to more standard LM1117 type
Bill of materials
Make sure to use the BOM that matches the revision of your Bluster PCB.

Questions
How big is the Bluster PCB?
It measures 17.8 × 61.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Bluster use?
10 parts, built around the LM1117-3.3. 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 Bluster KiCad files?
From the LIV2/Bluster repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Kicad/Bluster.kicad_pcb and its schematic Kicad/Bluster.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Bluster design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask LIV2 before reusing the design.
