Questions

How big is the Obd2laa PCB?

It measures 47 × 41 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Obd2laa use?

13 parts, built around the LP2985-50DBV and PESD2CAN. 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 Obd2laa KiCad files?

From the patrykbajos/obd2laa repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is obd2laa.kicad_pcb and its schematic obd2laa.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Obd2laa design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
