Questions

How big is the Schematics PCB?

It measures 98.5 × 193.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 3.3 mm thick.

What parts does the Schematics use?

120 parts, built around the W25Q32JVSSIQ, AMS1117-3.3, AMS1117-1.8 and BQ24072RGTR. 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 Schematics KiCad files?

From the apistol78/retrodack repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is schematics/mainboard/mainboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic schematics/audio_eval01/audio_eval01/audio_eval01.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Schematics design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MPL-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).
