Questions

How big is the Wch link PCB?

It measures 38.7 × 17.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Wch link use?

36 parts, built around the CH32V305FBP6 and AMS1117-3.3. 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 Wch link KiCad files?

From the 74th/mini-wch-linke repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is wch-link.kicad_pcb and its schematic wch-link.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Wch link design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask 74th before reusing the design.
