Questions
How big is the Atari Joypad 2 Button PCB?
It measures 100 × 55 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Atari Joypad 2 Button use?
17 parts. 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 Atari Joypad 2 Button KiCad files?
From the BrettHallen/Atari repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Joypad_Two_Button/RightHanded/RevC/Atari_Joypad_2_Button.kicad_pcb and its schematic Joypad_Two_Button/RightHanded/RevA/Atari_Joypad_2_Button.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Atari Joypad 2 Button design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask BrettHallen before reusing the design.
