Questions

How big is the RS232-Relay PCB?

It measures 82.5 × 151 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the RS232-Relay use?

88 parts, built around the MAX3232ID, TEC 2-1210WI, LTV-847 and ULN2003. 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 RS232-Relay KiCad files?

From the About-Time-Technologies/RS232-Relay repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/RS232-Relay.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/RS232-Relay.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RS232-Relay design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
