Questions
How big is the Validation Driver PCB PCB?
It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Validation Driver PCB use?
25 parts, built around the AO3400A. 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 Validation Driver PCB KiCad files?
From the shBLOCK/WorldCube repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is tools/tmp/Validation_Driver_PCB/Validation_Driver_PCB.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/WorldCubeProtoV1/WorldCubeProtoV1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Validation Driver PCB design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask shBLOCK before reusing the design.
