Questions
How big is the BPI AddOn PCB?
It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the BPI AddOn use?
112 parts, built around the FT230XS-R, MC34063, BS170 and RJ45. 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 BPI AddOn KiCad files?
From the GBert/misc repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is BPI-AddOn/BPI-AddOn.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the BPI AddOn design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask GBert before reusing the design.
