Questions

How big is the Starter x51 USB PCB?

It measures 90 × 70 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Starter x51 USB use?

50 parts, built around the CP2102 and LM1117-3.3. 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 Starter x51 USB KiCad files?

From the ExploreEmbedded/8051_ExploreStarter8051 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Design Files/Starter_x51_USB.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Starter x51 USB design in my own project?

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