Questions

How big is the PETER PCB?

It measures 180 × 110 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PETER use?

419 parts, built around the LFE5U-25F-7TG144C, SN74LVC245APWR(LX), ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8R2 and FT230XS-R. 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 PETER KiCad files?

From the dennowiggle/Retro-PETER repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/PETER/PETER.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/Analyzer/Analyzer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the PETER design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the LGPL-2.1 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
