Questions

How big is the Ethernet bob PCB?

It measures 59.2 × 66 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Ethernet bob use?

562 parts, built around the SP3485EN-Y and USBLC6-4SC6. 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 Ethernet bob KiCad files?

From the rene-dev/stmbl repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw/kicad/bob/ethernet_bob/ethernet_bob.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Ethernet bob design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
