Questions
How big is the DuplexUARTtoHalf PCB?
It measures 35 × 35 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the DuplexUARTtoHalf use?
29 parts, built around the SN74LVC1G125DCK, SN74LVC1G126DCK and MAX40200AUK. 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 DuplexUARTtoHalf KiCad files?
From the freudenthal/DuplexToHalfUART repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is DuplexUARTtoHalf.kicad_pcb and its schematic DuplexUARTtoHalf.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the DuplexUARTtoHalf design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask freudenthal before reusing the design.
