Overview

Flipbits nano board is an open-source printed circuit board by bitfieldlabs, from the bitfieldlabs/flipbits repository on GitHub, published under the LGPL-3.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board with 3 parts on 57 nets.

It is built around the TD62783AD. Its parts include 1 IC and 1 connector. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

README

README.md

FlipBits is a small hardware and software project for programming legacy EPROMs used in pinball machines.

Currently only following Winbond EEPROMs are supported, although it is very simple to add support for other standard UV 27xxx EPROMs:

  • W27C257 - 32kb Electrically erasable EPROM
  • W27C512 - 64kb Electrically erasable EPROM
  • W27E040 - 512kb Electrically erasable EPROM

These EPROMs can be erased electrically by appying 14V to some pins.

An Arduino Nano is used to control the hardware.

Breadboard

Schematics for kicad are provided.

Questions

What parts does the Flipbits nano board use?

3 parts, built around the TD62783AD. 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 Flipbits nano board KiCad files?

From the bitfieldlabs/flipbits repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is flipbits_nano_board/flipbits_nano_board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Flipbits nano board design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the LGPL-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).
