Questions
How big is the Voyager PCB?
It measures 285 × 94.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Voyager use?
258 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U2-AU, WS2812B and NSS40301MZ4T1G. 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 Voyager KiCad files?
From the monksoffunk/Voyager repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Voyager.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Voyager design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask monksoffunk before reusing the design.
