Questions

How big is the Cat644 PCB?

It measures 101.6 × 76.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Cat644 use?

51 parts, built around the ATMEGA644PA-AU, MAX232N and 74LS573PC. 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 Cat644 KiCad files?

From the carangil/cat644 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/cat644.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Cat644 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-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).
