Questions

How big is the VCU Board PCB?

It measures 137.2 × 83.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the VCU Board use?

48 parts, built around the ICM-20948 and PN2222A. 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 VCU Board KiCad files?

From the Will-Dub/2V4U repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/VCU_Board.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/Driver.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the VCU Board 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).
