Questions

How big is the Atari2600CompositeMod PCB?

It measures 33.4 × 16.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Atari2600CompositeMod use?

15 parts, built around the MMBT3904 and MMBT3906. 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 Atari2600CompositeMod KiCad files?

From the jimbro1000/Atari2600CompositeMod repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Atari2600CompositeMod.kicad_pcb and its schematic Atari2600CompositeMod.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Atari2600CompositeMod design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jimbro1000 before reusing the design.
