Questions

How big is the StringsVR Power PCB?

It measures 164.4 × 85.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the StringsVR Power use?

15 parts. 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 StringsVR Power KiCad files?

From the StringsVR/StringsVR repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is StringsVR-PCB/StringsVR-Power/StringsVR-Power.kicad_pcb and its schematic StringsVR-PCB/StringsVR-Power/StringsVR-Power.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the StringsVR Power design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask StringsVR before reusing the design.
