Questions

How big is the Breakout1 PCB?

It measures 116.5 × 80 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Breakout1 use?

109 parts, built around the SN751730D and SN74LVC8T245PW. 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 Breakout1 KiCad files?

From the lowobservable/channel repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is adapter1/pcb/breakout1.kicad_pcb and its schematic adapter1/pcb/breakout1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Breakout1 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the ISC licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
