Questions

How big is the USBHostRS232 PCB?

It measures 50 × 79 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the USBHostRS232 use?

54 parts, built around the CH559L, MAX3232ID, USBLC6-2SC6 and XC6206-2.8V. 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 USBHostRS232 KiCad files?

From the romi2002/RS232USBHost repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is USBHostRS232.kicad_pcb and its schematic USBHostRS232.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the USBHostRS232 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask romi2002 before reusing the design.
