Questions
How big is the Pd var PCB?
It measures 20 × 10 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pd var use?
12 parts, built around the CH224K. 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 Pd var KiCad files?
From the McbeEringi/pcb-stuff repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is proj/usb/pd-var/pd-var.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pd var design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
