Questions
How big is the Uart to usb PCB?
It measures 52 × 20 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Uart to usb use?
17 parts, built around the AP2112K-3.3 and FT4232HL. 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 Uart to usb KiCad files?
From the kj-49/uart-to-usb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is FT4232HP/uart-to-usb.kicad_pcb and its schematic FT232HP/uart-to-usb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Uart to usb design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask kj-49 before reusing the design.
