Questions
How big is the Hackheld Vega LiPo PCB?
It measures 22.4 × 31.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Hackheld Vega LiPo use?
18 parts, built around the MCP73831-2ACI/OT, BAT760, WAFER-PH2.0-2PWB and MHS171CRCT. 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 Hackheld Vega LiPo KiCad files?
From the SpacehuhnTech/HackHeld repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is HackHeld Vega II LiPo/Hackheld_Vega_LiPo.kicad_pcb and its schematic HackHeld Vega II LiPo/Hackheld_Vega_LiPo.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Hackheld Vega LiPo design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask SpacehuhnTech before reusing the design.
