Questions
How big is the Gpioexp PCB?
It measures 20.3 × 33 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.2 mm thick.
What parts does the Gpioexp use?
9 parts, built around the AW9523BTQR. 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 Gpioexp KiCad files?
From the lbthomsen/AW9523B repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is breakout/gpioexp.kicad_pcb and its schematic breakout/gpioexp.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Gpioexp design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
