#Toadstool-MCP2200
Toadstool Cap - MCP2200 USB to UART
The Toadstool family is made up of breadboard-friendly prototyping boards that house a microcontroller, and modules called Caps that connect using a standard header. The prototyping board is analagous to an Arduino/Launchpad and the Cap analagous to a shield/boosterpack.
This repository contains the schematics for the Toadstool-MCP2200 Cap, a USB to UART module that connects to Toadstool prototyping boards using the common header. The Microchip MCP2200 chip does all the work.
The boards were layed out using KiCad - KiCad is open source and awesome.
There are a number of other CrashBangProto respositories containing the schematics for other Toadstool boards and Caps, as well as sample code to get you up and running.
Visit the Toadstool Webpages for more information on the project.

Questions
How big is the CAP USB UART MCP2200 PCB?
It measures 49.5 × 5.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the CAP USB UART MCP2200 use?
18 parts, built around the MCP2200-I/SS and LD1117S33TR(MS). 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 CAP USB UART MCP2200 KiCad files?
From the CrashBangProto/CAP_USB-UART-MCP2200 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Schematics/CAP USB-UART MCP2200.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the CAP USB UART MCP2200 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask CrashBangProto before reusing the design.
