Questions
How big is the PS2 Serial adapter PCB?
It measures 36.5 × 18 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PS2 Serial adapter use?
11 parts, built around the MAX3323EEUE+T. 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 PS2 Serial adapter KiCad files?
From the zachary-cauchi/ps2-uart-interface repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PS2 Serial adapter.kicad_pcb and its schematic PS2 Serial adapter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PS2 Serial adapter design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
