Questions
How big is the Atari Video Touch Pad PCB?
It measures 38 × 123 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Atari Video Touch Pad use?
12 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 Video Touch Pad KiCad files?
From the BrettHallen/Atari repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Star_Raiders_Video_Touch_Pad/Kicad/Atari_Video_Touch_Pad.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 Video Touch Pad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask BrettHallen before reusing the design.
