Questions

How big is the PIC encoders to serial PCB?

It measures 35 × 35 mm and has 2 copper layers, 2 mm thick.

What parts does the PIC encoders to serial use?

20 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 PIC encoders to serial KiCad files?

From the Didgitalpunk/PICoder repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PIC_encoders_to_serial/PIC_encoders_to_serial.kicad_pcb and its schematic PIC_encoders_to_serial/PIC_encoders_to_serial.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the PIC encoders to serial design in my own project?

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