Questions

How big is the Can module PCB?

It measures 75 × 27.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Can module use?

18 parts. 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 Can module KiCad files?

From the Madarakante/can-module repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is CAN module.kicad_pcb and its schematic CAN module.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Can module design in my own project?

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