Questions

How big is the GW4302 PCB?

It measures 57.9 × 59.4 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.61 mm thick.

What parts does the GW4302 use?

100 parts, built around the 74LVC245APW, 74AHCT125PW, 74LVC1G17GW and CH340G. 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 GW4302 KiCad files?

From the garrettsworkshop/GW4302 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is GW4302.kicad_pcb and its schematic GW4302.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the GW4302 design in my own project?

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