Questions
How big is the C64 Pi Interface PCB?
It measures 62 × 83.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the C64 Pi Interface use?
35 parts, built around the 23LC1024-E/P, AMS1117-3.3 and W25Q128FVSQ. 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 C64 Pi Interface KiCad files?
From the KimJorgensen/C64_Pi_Interface repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/C64_Pi_Interface.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the C64 Pi Interface design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
