Questions
How big is the Dashcam power PCB?
It measures 89 × 56 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Dashcam power use?
29 parts, built around the AHQSH105LM100G. 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 Dashcam power KiCad files?
From the Spajciuch/dashcam repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCAD/dashcam_power.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCAD/dashcam_power.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Dashcam power design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
