RS485 shield for Raspberry Pi 2/3

This Raspberry Pi RS485 module was heavily inspired by an article from the excellent german c't magazin:

Unter Strom - Stromverbrauch analysieren mit Raspi und Smart Meter

In addition to the schematic published a level shifter was added for the RXD input.

This shield was build around the MAX485 module from LC Electronics.

There is an AISLER project if you like to order a PCB.

Questions

How big is the Raspberry pi rs485 PCB?

It measures 65 × 56 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Raspberry pi rs485 use?

16 parts, built around the BS170. 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 Raspberry pi rs485 KiCad files?

From the franzs/raspberry_pi_rs485 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/raspberry pi rs 485.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Raspberry pi rs485 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the BSD-2-Clause licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
