Hardware Version History (latest on top)
v0.5 Triple Board (added custom LED Matrix) - Beta Test Kits. Beta Kit Repo at https://github.com/ageppert/Core64/
v0.4 Core Board - Neon Pixel Edition. Expanded Core Grid Array to work with Neon Pixels!
v0.4 Dual Boards (Blue LB + Yellow CB), moved up to Teensy 3.2, removed IO Expanders, added more expansion/hacking headers.
v0.3.1 Hand re-worked v0.3 with 5V0 and 3V3 regulators each seperately sourced after power switch to provide improved power supplies.
v0.3 Dual Boards (both Red) with Teensy LC. One core board, one logic board. Used IO Expanders to drive the Core matrix, which ended up being way too slow.
v0.2 Bug fixes learned from v0.1 applied. This version has not been made or tested, but should work.
v0.1.1 Single Green Board worked after I added missing OR gate circuitry!
v0.1 Single Green Board with Teensy LC. The first hand assembled prototype. Made one and it worked after I added missing circuitry!

Questions
How big is the Core64 HB PCB?
It measures 85 × 67 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Core64 HB use?
347 parts, built around the SFH11-NBPC-D03-ST-BK and SSW-104-22-L-S-VS. 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 Core64 HB KiCad files?
From the ageppert/Core-64-Interactive-Core-Memory-Badge repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Electronic Design/Core64 HB v0.1/Core64 HB.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Core64 HB design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
