Questions

How big is the RS485 PCB?

It measures 22.2 × 20.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the RS485 use?

17 parts, built around the MAX485ED. 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 RS485 KiCad files?

From the csabar/RS485 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is rs485.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RS485 design in my own project?

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