Questions

How big is the Usb2mbus PCB?

It measures 45 × 60 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Usb2mbus use?

57 parts, built around the CH340K, EL817, 74HC14 and BD136. 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 Usb2mbus KiCad files?

From the ucw-gadgets/mbus2usb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw/usb2mbus.kicad_pcb and its schematic hw/usb2mbus.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Usb2mbus design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
