Where can I find a VLB reference design?

Each of the 1 boards on this page is a real design using the VLB. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.

How big is a typical board using the VLB?

The median is 237 × 70.4 mm, and 0% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the VLB?

By GitHub stars, Cardshark by slobworks, with 2 stars.
