Questions
How big is the Breakout PCB?
It measures 51.2 × 61 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Breakout use?
9 parts, built around the 74ALVC164245DL. 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 Breakout KiCad files?
From the ioncodes/gb-dbg-brk repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is breakout.kicad_pcb and its schematic breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Breakout design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
