Questions

How big is the Meterbus interface PCB?

It measures 57 × 33 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Meterbus interface use?

7 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 Meterbus interface KiCad files?

From the ALBATROS-Experiment/meterbus-interface repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Meterbus-interface.kicad_pcb and its schematic Meterbus-interface.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Meterbus interface design in my own project?

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