Breakout Board for the internal 40 Pin Connector of the Sharp PC-1500/PC-1600 Pocket Computer
Breakout board is an open-source printed circuit board by kaibader, from the kaibader/Sharp-PC-Breakout-Boards repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 80 × 46 mm with 17 parts on 52 nets, routed with 464 tracks and 0 vias.
Its parts include 11 connectors, 2 resistors and 2 diodes. It belongs with the interfaces and adapters and microcontroller boards boards of this library.
Various Breakout Boards for the Sharp PC-1500/1600 Series
I've ported the two breakout boards from EagleCAD to KiCad. The design of two breakout boards was also slightly improved. There is no functional difference to the older revisions.
Initial release, designed in EagleCAD (which I'm not using anymore).
The breakout board was designed to allow easy access to all pins of the Sharp PC connector.
Upated the connector layout: Fixed an issue with a falsely documented FGND pin. Slight improvements in the layout.
Replaced the 1.27 mm pin header: the HIF6A-60PA-1.27DS is compatible with the discontinued JAE PICL-60P-LT (original Sharp-PC connector). The whole PCB was redesigned: functional units (e.g. data bus, address bus) are now combined.
Initial release, based on a 1.27 mm pin header. Designed in EagleCAD (which I'm not using anymore).

This arm is not industrial and it will not be fast, but that is not my goal. But it will hopefully be a very nice looking arm fully capable of 6dof motion, cheap enough to keep it accessable but capable enough to…


It measures 80 × 46 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
17 parts. 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.
From the kaibader/Sharp-PC-Breakout-Boards repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is breakout-board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask kaibader before reusing the design.
