Questions
How big is the Gpio expander PCB?
It measures 43.1 × 51.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Gpio expander use?
18 parts. 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 Gpio expander KiCad files?
From the dazemc/mcp23017 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is gpio_expander.kicad_pcb and its schematic gpio_expander.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Gpio expander design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask dazemc before reusing the design.
