Questions
How big is the Sd2snes PCB?
It measures 101.5 × 83 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Sd2snes use?
154 parts, built around the PIC12F629-I/P, MIC23250-S4YMT-TR, 74ALVC164245DGG and CS4344. 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 Sd2snes KiCad files?
From the mrehkopf/sd2snes repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/kicad/RevF/sd2snes.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Sd2snes design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
