Questions
How big is the StringsVR SheepyHat PCB?
It measures 145 × 83.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the StringsVR SheepyHat use?
18 parts, built around the SRB22A2BBBNN. 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 SheepyHat KiCad files?
From the StringsVR/StringsVR repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is StringsVR-PCB/StringsVR-SheepyHat/StringsVR-SheepyHat.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 SheepyHat design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask StringsVR before reusing the design.
