README
README.mdUSB-UART-with-galvanic-isolation
A DIY USB-UART adapter for working with devices which need such isolation. Great for programming for e.g. power meter which does not have any isolation from mains voltage. Mainly used for ESP8266 programming, but can be used for any device with UART interface.

Questions
How big is the Isolated Usb Serial PCB?
It measures 50 × 30 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Isolated Usb Serial use?
25 parts, built around the FT232RL and AP1117DG. 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 Isolated Usb Serial KiCad files?
From the daumemo/USB-UART-with-galvanic-isolation repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/Isolated Usb-Serial.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Isolated Usb Serial design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
