Questions
How big is the Kicad rs converter PCB?
It measures 60 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Kicad rs converter use?
29 parts, built around the MAX485ED, BC807 and LM7805. 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 Kicad rs converter KiCad files?
From the artsi0m/6sem_practice repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad-rs-converter/kicad-rs-converter.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad-rs-converter/kicad-rs-converter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Kicad rs converter design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
