Questions
How big is the Registers PCB?
It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Registers use?
217 parts, built around the MC74HC244ADT, 74HC161PW, MC74HC273ADT and SN74LV08APW. 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 Registers KiCad files?
From the imihajlow/ccpu repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is boards/registers/registers.kicad_pcb and its schematic boards/eth/eth.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Registers design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask imihajlow before reusing the design.
