Weave 16 bits of core memory and LEDs to interact with using a magnetic wand
Core16 LB 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 × 50.8 mm with 130 parts on 126 nets, routed with 1,188 tracks and 183 vias.
It is built around the SN74LV1T125DBVR-TP, SI7210-B-00-IV and SI7210-B-03-IV, with the SI7210-B-04-IV, LM393DT and M24C02-WMN6TP among its other parts. Its parts include 49 resistors, 22 diodes, 19 transistors, 18 capacitors and 10 ICs. 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.

matthieuvigne/MiAM_robotics
Generic repo for robotic projects with the former MiAM Eurobot team !

It measures 88.9 × 50.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
130 parts, built around the SN74LV1T125DBVR-TP, SI7210-B-00-IV, SI7210-B-03-IV and SI7210-B-04-IV. 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_LB_V0.1 Design Files KiCAD 7/Core16_LB.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.
