Questions

How big is the FTDI Adapter PCB?

It measures 32.6 × 13.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the FTDI Adapter use?

15 parts, built around the FT232RL. 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 FTDI Adapter KiCad files?

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

Can I use the FTDI Adapter design in my own project?

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