Weave 16 bits of core memory and LEDs to interact with using a magnetic wand
Core16 Test Fixture is an open-source printed circuit board by ageppert, from the ageppert/Core16-Interactive-Core-Memory repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 88.9 × 128.3 mm with 20 parts on 70 nets, routed with 819 tracks and 195 vias.
It is built around the M24C02-WMN6TP, SFH11-NBPC-D03-ST-BK and OS102011MA1QN1, with the SM04B-SRSS-TB among its other parts. Its parts include 8 connectors, 3 ICs, 3 crystals, 2 switches and 1 capacitor. It belongs with the RP2040 boards of this library.
Weave your own 16 bits of core memory over the top of LEDs to interact with directly using a magnetic wand. This project shares the same codebase as Core64.

It measures 88.9 × 128.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
20 parts, built around the M24C02-WMN6TP, SFH11-NBPC-D03-ST-BK, OS102011MA1QN1 and SM04B-SRSS-TB. 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.
From the ageppert/Core16-Interactive-Core-Memory repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Electronic Design/Core16_TF_V0.2 Design Files KiCAD 7/Core16_Test_Fixture.kicad_pcb and its schematic Electronic Design/Core16_LB_V0.1 Design Files KiCAD 7/Core16_LB.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ageppert before reusing the design.
