Questions

How big is the USB RS232 PCB?

It measures 65 × 30 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the USB RS232 use?

32 parts, built around the ST232C, CH340G and BSS138. 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 USB RS232 KiCad files?

From the llegoff/USB_RS232 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is USB_RS232.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the USB RS232 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask llegoff before reusing the design.
