Questions
How big is the Protyping board PCB?
It measures 79.8 × 24 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Protyping board use?
40 parts, built around the MAX485ED, AP2112K-3.3 and BSS138. 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 Protyping board KiCad files?
From the Jgh163/RS485-Prototype repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Protyping board.kicad_pcb and its schematic Protyping board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Protyping board design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Jgh163 before reusing the design.
