Questions

How big is the Modbus RJ45-Breakout PCB?

It measures 86 × 68 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Modbus RJ45-Breakout use?

86 parts, built around the MAX485ED. 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 Modbus RJ45-Breakout KiCad files?

From the the78mole/Modbus-RJ45-Breakout repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Modbus-RJ45-Breakout.kicad_pcb and its schematic Modbus-RJ45-Breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Modbus RJ45-Breakout design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask the78mole before reusing the design.
