Questions

How big is the CC2500-Breakout PCB?

It measures 20.3 × 20.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.8 mm thick.

What parts does the CC2500-Breakout use?

2 parts, built around the CC2500RGP. 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 CC2500-Breakout KiCad files?

From the mcauser/CC2500-Breakout repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/CC2500-Breakout.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the CC2500-Breakout 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).
