Questions
How big is the BusterTower PCB?
It measures 69.9 × 77.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the BusterTower use?
5 parts, built around the PAL16L8-5JC. 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 BusterTower KiCad files?
From the Board-Folk/A2000BusterTower repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is BusterTower.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the BusterTower 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).
