Questions

How big is the Radio usb PCB?

It measures 127 × 90 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Radio usb use?

225 parts, built around the AP22814AW5, TLP2662(F), 24LC04B/P and 74AHCT1G04GV. 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 usb KiCad files?

From the SP8EBC/radio-usb-interface repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is radio-usb.kicad_pcb and its schematic radio-usb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Radio usb design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask SP8EBC before reusing the design.
