Questions
How big is the CANBuster PCB?
It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the CANBuster use?
182 parts, built around the PIC18F45K80-I/P, ISO1050DW, MCP2561-E/P and LTV-844. 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 CANBuster KiCad files?
From the GBert/misc repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is CANBuster/CANBuster.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the CANBuster design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask GBert before reusing the design.
