Questions

How big is the RoscoFrontPanel PCB?

It measures 160 × 39 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the RoscoFrontPanel use?

33 parts, built around the MAX232N and PJ-037B. 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 RoscoFrontPanel KiCad files?

From the aowron/RoscoFrontPanelPcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is RoscoFrontPanel.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RoscoFrontPanel design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the BSD-2-Clause licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
