Questions

How big is the Rocket2-trs hardware PCB?

It measures 65.8 × 60.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Rocket2-trs hardware use?

69 parts, built around the AP63205WU, SN74LVC1T45DCK, TLP3553A(TP1,F and AMS1117-3.3. 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 Rocket2-trs hardware KiCad files?

From the UCI-Rocket-Project/rocket2-trs-hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is TRS-KICAD/rocket2-trs-hardware.kicad_pcb and its schematic TRS-KICAD/rocket2-trs-hardware.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Rocket2-trs hardware design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask UCI-Rocket-Project before reusing the design.
