Questions
How big is the UART RS485 PCB?
It measures 16.5 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the UART RS485 use?
4 parts, built around the SP3485EN-Y. 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 UART RS485 KiCad files?
From the 21km43/UART-RS485 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is UART-RS485.kicad_pcb and its schematic UART-RS485.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the UART RS485 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask 21km43 before reusing the design.
