Questions
How big is the Psx sio PCB?
It measures 11.8 × 28.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Psx sio use?
20 parts, built around the FT231XQ-R and USBLC6-2SC6. 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 Psx sio KiCad files?
From the ashlynblack/psx-usb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is circuitry/psx-sio.kicad_pcb and its schematic circuitry/psx-sio.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Psx sio design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ashlynblack before reusing the design.
