Questions

How big is the Sequencer PCB?

It measures 99.1 × 99.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Sequencer use?

25 parts, built around the 74HC273D and 74HC74D. 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 Sequencer KiCad files?

From the ksmonkey123/8bit_computer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is circuits/pc-12_sequencer/sequencer.kicad_pcb and its schematic circuits/pc-01_dual_8bit_register/dual_8bit_register.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Sequencer 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).
