Questions

How big is the Radio PCB?

It measures 29.2 × 43.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Radio use?

15 parts, built around the FT231XS-R. 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 Radio KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Radio design in my own project?

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