Questions
How big is the FT232RNL USB PCB?
It measures 20.8 × 40.6 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the FT232RNL USB use?
25 parts, built around the FT232RL, USBLC6-2SC6 and BAT60A. 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 FT232RNL USB KiCad files?
From the kc1awv/FT232R_USB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is FT232RNL_USB.kicad_pcb and its schematic FT232RNL_USB.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the FT232RNL USB design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask kc1awv before reusing the design.
