Questions

How big is the Rs232wing PCB?

It measures 50.8 × 22.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Rs232wing use?

16 parts, built around the MAX232N. 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 Rs232wing KiCad files?

From the chickadee-tech/rs232wing repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is RS232Wing.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Rs232wing design in my own project?

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