Questions
What parts does the DSProject use?
84 parts, built around the TLC5973D, TPD4S014DSQR, TPS63020DSJR and MAX17048G+T10. 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 DSProject KiCad files?
From the StefVuck/DesignSpecialProject5 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is DSProject/DSProject.kicad_pcb and its schematic DSProject/DSProject.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the DSProject design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask StefVuck before reusing the design.
