Questions
How big is the Lowside PCB?
It measures 101 × 22 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Lowside use?
348 parts, built around the VNLD5090TR-E. 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 Lowside KiCad files?
From the rusefi/hw_modular repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is lowside/lowside.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Lowside design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask rusefi before reusing the design.
