Questions
How big is the Vr circuit PCB?
It measures 61.5 × 28.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Vr circuit use?
72 parts, built around the LM393 and BAV99. 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 Vr circuit KiCad files?
From the ZHoob2004/vr_conditioner repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is vr_circuit.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Vr circuit design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ZHoob2004 before reusing the design.
