Questions
How big is the 2PinLCDBackPack PCB?
It measures 62.9 × 31.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the 2PinLCDBackPack use?
17 parts, built around the PCF8574N. 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 2PinLCDBackPack KiCad files?
From the jonsag/miscPCBs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 2PinLCDBackPack/KiCad/2PinLCDBackPack/2PinLCDBackPack.kicad_pcb and its schematic 2PinLCDBackPack/KiCad/2PinLCDBackPack/2PinLCDBackPack.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the 2PinLCDBackPack design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jonsag before reusing the design.
