Questions
How big is the Ft230xs usb2uart PCB?
It measures 41 × 20 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Ft230xs usb2uart use?
21 parts, built around the FT230XS-R. 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 Ft230xs usb2uart KiCad files?
From the KabelitzJ/ft230xs_usb2uart repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ft230xs_usb2uart.kicad_pcb and its schematic ft230xs_usb2uart.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Ft230xs usb2uart design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask KabelitzJ before reusing the design.
