Questions

How big is the Base PCB?

It measures 18 × 11 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Base use?

14 parts, built around the CH340B, AP2112K-3.3 and UMH3N. 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 Base KiCad files?

From the brainsmoke/uuart repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is espprog/base.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Base design in my own project?

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