Questions
How big is the Usbgbserial PCB?
It measures 26.5 × 25 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Usbgbserial use?
13 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U2-AU. 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 Usbgbserial KiCad files?
From the karstx/usbgbserial repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is cad/usbgbserial.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Usbgbserial design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask karstx before reusing the design.
