Questions

How big is the At2usb PCB?

It measures 46.5 × 25.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the At2usb use?

9 parts. 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 At2usb KiCad files?

From the BojanSof/at2usb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/at2usb/at2usb.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/at2usb/at2usb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the At2usb design in my own project?

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