Questions

How big is the 16bit computer PCB?

It measures 219.1 × 157.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 16bit computer use?

97 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.

Where can I download the 16bit computer KiCad files?

From the Mee42/16bit repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 16bit_computer.kicad_pcb and its schematic 16bit_computer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 16bit computer design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Mee42 before reusing the design.
