Questions
How big is the 6502 sbc PCB?
It measures 127 × 127 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the 6502 sbc use?
60 parts, built around the FT232RL, 74HC00D, CAT28C256GI-15T and CY62256NLL-55SNXI. 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 6502 sbc KiCad files?
From the davidday99/6502-sbc repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ee/v2/6502_sbc/6502_sbc.kicad_pcb and its schematic ee/v1/6502_sbc/6502_sbc.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the 6502 sbc design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask davidday99 before reusing the design.
