Questions
How big is the V2a PCB?
It measures 58.4 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the V2a use?
7 parts, built around the 74AHCT1G32GV. 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 V2a KiCad files?
From the KITTY-6502/hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Kicad/romcart/v2a/v2a.kicad_pcb and its schematic Kicad/case/back/back.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the V2a design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask KITTY-6502 before reusing the design.
