Questions

How big is the GexUSB PCB?

It measures 42.5 × 124.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the GexUSB use?

10 parts. 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 GexUSB KiCad files?

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

Can I use the GexUSB design in my own project?

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